Rod of shadows

Version 0.17: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

This page is a stub. You could probably expand this page should you wish to do so.

This rod weaves creatures from shadows and ethereal matter.

Evoking the rod of shadows summons randomly selected shadow creatures into existence through the Weave Shadows spell. These monsters may not be appropriate for your current branch, and their strength will be determined by your spell power (and thus your Evocations skill).

Strategy

At low levels of Evocations, you'll be summonings goblins and worms. Don't expect much from this unless you're willing to put in the necessary training.

History

In 0.16 the Rod of Shadows became considerably stronger.

The rod of shadows was added in 0.14.
