| 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 dispellable 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 is mutually exclusive with the wand of acid and wand of light. 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.
- Very useful versus powerful magic-users who immediately cast Haste to close distance.
