Trunk-only: This article pertains to a feature of Crawl which is being tested. It will likely change before the next release, and may even be removed entirely.

Type	Wand
Name	Wand of warping
Icon

A magical device which creates a brief but violent rift in space, damaging everything caught in its wake and sometimes blinking them a short distance away.

A wand of warping creates a 3x3 explosion that has a chance to blink everything caught in the blast radius, including the player. It does less damage than the wand of iceblast, but the damage is irresistible.

The chance of blinking is 50 + 3.5 * Evocations%, capped at 90% (~12 Evocations).

It is mutually exclusive with the wand of roots and wand of iceblast.

Tips & Tricks

• Against monsters with dangerous short-range attacks such as Iron Shot and Lehudib's Crystal Spear, this wand can create some distance, allowing you to fight at long range more safely. Note that this doesn't work on Roxanne, since she's stationary.
• If you're silenced, you can use this wand on the silencer to get out of the silence radius, allowing you to use spells, scrolls, and god abilities.

History

• In 0.32, the blast wand set will get a new wand.
