Type Miscellaneous item
Name Stone of tremors
Icon Stone of tremors.png
A polished stone inhabited by benevolent earth spirits. Raising it aloft will send powerful shockwaves through the dungeon as the spirits seek solid form within its rock. Those creatures standing near to walls will be pelted with falling rubble as the rocky surface heaves and crumbles, while others may be swallowed up by cracks in the earth itself.

Once released, the spirits within this device will dissipate, leaving it inert, though new ones may be attracted as its bearer battles through the dungeon and grows in power and wisdom.

The stone of tremors is an item which, when evoked, will send a shockwave rippling through the dungeon. These vibrations will cause rubble to fall, damaging any enemies standing next to any rock, stone or permarock wall, and occasionally shafting them. This may also destroy portions of the dungeon's walls, releasing up to three friendly earth elementals from the destroyed areas.

Using this item depletes it, but it will recharge each time you gain sufficient experience. Your Earth Magic skill has no effect on the item's power or recharge rate. The higher your Evocations skill, the more damage the tremors will deal and the more likely you are to get multiple earth elementals.

History
