Rod of shadows

Obsolete: This article refers to an aspect of the game which has been removed. It is retained for historical reference only.

A rod that weaves creatures from shadows and ethereal matter.

Evoking the rod of shadows summons randomly selected shadow creatures into existence through the Weave Shadows spell.

Weave Shadows is similar to Shadow Creatures, but instead of summoning monsters specific to your current branch, it spawns monsters from a Dungeon or Depths floor. The higher your spell power, the deeper the floor.

Strategy

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