Evoking a piece from Xom's chessboard, in the spirit of Xom, allows you to cause a random effect[1] on a random monster within LOS. Even though it favors negative effects, you should always stay careful by being far away and having an escape plan. Your Evocations skill will increase the strength of the effect - positive or negative.

The chesspiece has 15 charges, and will recharge only when you gain experience. Carrying multiples is no more useful than carrying one, since charges are shared between all pieces.
