| A small figurine made of some strange material, shaped like a stepped pyramid. It is remarkably detailed – almost like a real, vast structure, shrunk somehow smaller than a human hand. |
The figurine of a ziggurat is an evocable item which creates a portal to a ziggurat upon use, being consumed in the process. A single figurine is guaranteed in the third floor of the Tomb, while a figurine generates on the last, 27th, floor of each ziggurat.
The figurine serves a surprisingly useful secondary purpose: creating a ziggurat and jumping in is an effective escape route from danger. This takes two turns, and you could even meet a pan lord on the first floor, but Zig:1 is usually safer than whatever you were fighting. Be aware that you cannot place a portal on top of some dungeon features like shops and stairs, though deep water and lava are valid tiles. This application is also limited in scope, as Tomb:3 and Zig:27 are usually reserved for the very end of a game, while this item is unable to be used in the one area done after, which is another ziggurat.
Unlike all other evocable items, it can be evoked even after sacrificing Artifice to Ru.
