List of vortices

From Ashenzari's Archive
Version 0.30: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Vortices are odd phenomena that occur in certain elementally charged places or are created by spells. For the most part, they aren't overtly hostile; many of them are permanently confused and will float aimlessly about, only dealing damage when they happen to crash into something. They are all nonliving, however, and are all immune to magical effects as well as generally highly resistant to elemental magic.

List of vortices

v Fire vortex - Swirling clouds of flame found in volcanic areas or created with extremely powerful Fire Magic.

v Spatial vortex - A wandering tear in the fabric of space that deals heavy distortion damage to anything it bumps into.

v Spatial maelstrom - A cognizant (and hungry) hole in creation. It seeks to dissolve all matter into raging storms of unreality.

v Twister - A localized windstorm that sweeps away anything unfortunate enough to be caught in its path.

Retired vortices

v Insubstantial wisp - Thin clouds of Swamp gases that traveled in packs and swarmed passersby. They blinked often and occasionally discharged electricity.

v Vapour - Invisible wads of mist that occasionally discharged Lightning Bolts in random directions.
