| A magical device which fires a magical seed, entangling its target and adjacent foes in quick-growing tree roots. Those entangled will be immobilized and take increasing damage over time until they escape or the roots wither away. The roots will only sprout from solid ground. |
The wand of roots constricts foes in a 3x3 radius, like the Grasping Roots monster spell.
For players:
- This wand deals
2d(6 + 3.5 * Evocations/10)damage (per 1.0 turn) initially.[1] For each successive turn constricted, its damage will increase. Roughly, you'll deal an extra (+20% * turns_passed) damage for the first 5 turns, and a smaller bonus thereafter. - Constriction lasts for
3.5 + 3.5 * Evocations/10turns.[2]
It is mutually exclusive with the wand of iceblast. Only one may exist in a game. Artificers will always start with a wand of iceblast, regardless of which wand is found in the Dungeon.
Tips & Tricks
- The wand has much of the same utility and power as Borgnjor's Vile Clutch. It lowers EV, never misses, deals guaranteed physical damage, and prevents targets from moving, which can help you avoid attacks of opportunity.
- Unlike BVC, the wand can't go through enemies.
History
- The wand of roots was added in 0.29.
