Effects
Increasing Evocations skill results in the following:
- Increases the spell power of effects produced by many evoked items.
- Increases the success rate of scarves of invisibity and artefacts with evocable abilities (flight, invisibility, blinking).
- Increases damage inflicted with magical staves.
Monster Evocations
When monsters wield weapons that are affected by Evocations, they are given skill equal to their HD if they are intelligent, and have no skill otherwise. When monsters attempt to use evocable abilities on jewellery, they succeed 100% of the time, regardless of their effective skill.
