Fan of gales
Version 0.13: This article is up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
An enchanted fan inhabited by benevolent air spirits. Swinging the fan unleashes a blast of wind around the bearer and sets the spirits free to sweep away the bearer's enemies. Once released, the spirits within this device will dissipate, leaving it inert, though new ones may be attracted as its bearer battle through the dungeon and grows in wisdom and power. |
A fan of gales is an evocable item which summons a number of air elementals, as well as calling forth a wind blast. The higher your Evocations skill, the more elementals are summoned. It will always summon one, and at most will summon three.
Strategy
The wind blast is very useful for pushing back enemies that have gotten too close. In addition, air elementals are powerful allies. They always summon friendly, so feel free to use this when in trouble or before a big fight.
History
In 0.13 this item replaced the "air elemental fan".
