Teleports away any creatures within a short distance of the caster. Any creature with the Will to resist will still be irresistibly blinked a shorter distance, and any monster it affects at all has a separate Will-based chance of being confused by the warping of space.

Dispersal is a level 6 Translocations spell which attempts to clear away all monsters adjacent to you.

Effect

If the spell manages to beat a monster's magic resistance, the monster is instantly teleported away. If the spell fails, the monster will blink away, even if they have magic immunity.

History

Prior to 0.12, there was only a 50% chance that the monster would blink away when the teleport attempt failed.
