| Any target it hits will blink, with a tendency towards blinking further away from the one who fired it. |
The dispersal brand can be found on arrows and darts, and causes enemies that it damages to blink semi-randomly (usually away from the shooter). They're very useful for chasing off dangerous melee opponents who manage to get too close. The effect does not check magic resistance; so long as you hit the target, it blinks.
Tips & Tricks
- You don't need to keep dispersal missiles quivered to have easy access to them; just hit F and select them from your inventory to fire.
- Missiles with this brand are one use only, mulching after firing.
- You cannot target yourself with this effect.
