Forges up to four razor-sharp sawblades at fixed positions around the caster which shred any enemies adjacent to them over several turns.

Diamond Sawblades is a level 7 Forgecraft spell that creates up to 4 sawblades; 1 is spawned in each empty tile that's two-diagonal from you. The sawblades deal damage to every enemy adjacent to them each turn they are active.

Useful Info

The diamond sawblades are placed in the X positions in this diagram, where @ is the player:

Sawblades cannot be placed on tiles that are either out of LOS or contain a wall or a monster.

Strategy

While not a primary "killdudes" spell due to the placement restrictions, Diamond Sawblades is useful as an option whenever the situation is ideal (akin to Eringya's Noxious Bog. The sawblades attack all adjacent enemies, giving them some AOE.

You can help get monsters in range of the sawblades, by standing in the way, and prevent the sawblades from being targeted for attacks.
