Sticks to Snakes is a level 2 Transmutation spell which turns arrows from inventory into snakes.
Contents
Useful Info
Turns arrows into allied snakes. Higher spell power may increase the number of creatures created, create stronger snakes and increase their duration. One arrow from inventory is consumed for each snake created.
Possible monsters are:
- S
Ball python - S
Adder - S
Water moccasin
These snakes are not real summons, and can not be abjured. They will wither away after a while though.
Number of snakes created per cast is 1 + (1d<power> - 1) / 15, capped at 7.[1] Assuming you have enough arrows, of course.
Duration class ranges from 3 (around 27 turns) to 5 (around 81 turns). The formula is 3 + (1d<power> - 1) / 20, capped at 5.[2]
Strategy
Sticks to Snakes allows you to create summons (for all intents) with no cap. They can block line of fire or distract enemies. If you have enough arrows, you can swarm enemies with snakes, which will let you win most early game fights. Very powerful for Transmuter starts, and useful for other characters (even past the early game).
Snakes can be combined with a scroll of immolation or Inner Flame to "snakebomb" enemies - even ball pythons create a high damage explosion. As all summons can be affected by Inner Flame as of 0.25, this isn't exclusive to Sticks to Snakes anymore, but this spell has no summon cap (so you can have more explosions at once). With enough immolated snakes, you can even kill TRJ.
