Type Wand
Name Wand of quicksilver
Icon Wand of quicksilver.png
A magical device which fires a beam of destructive energy, dispelling enchantments on creatures struck.

The wand of quicksilver fires a Quicksilver Bolt. This is a powerful, somewhat inaccurate bolt, which ends all cancelable effects when it hits.

Players will deal 6d(4.16 + 3.5 * Evocations/9) damage with this wand.[1] Players have a to-hit of 10.6 + (3.5 * Evocations)/25.[2]

Monsters will deal 3d(7 + (30 + HD)/14) damage with this wand.[3]

It functions similarly to the wand of acid and wand of light. Only one of the three "beam" wands may exist in any given game.

When compared to acid and light, the wand of quicksilver has more range (7 tiles), and deals slightly more damage

Tips & Tricks

  • There are many effects that you can dispel. In addition to every effect from a potion of cancellation, quicksilver can also stop effects like Word of Recall and Bind Souls.
  • You may use this wand on yourself as a self-harming potion of cancellation.

History

  • The wand of quicksilver was added in 0.29.

    Specifically, you'll deal 6d(15/6 * pow/9) damage, for pow = 15 + 3.5 * Evocations (evoke.cc:177 (0.30.0)). If you have the MP-Powered Wands mutation, then your "pow" gains a +33% boost.
