{{spell info}}

'''Dispersal''' is a level 6 [[Translocations]] spell which attempts to clear away all monsters adjacent to you.

==Useful Info==
If the spell manages to beat a monster's [[willpower]], the monster is instantly [[teleport]]ed away. If the spell fails, the monster will [[blink]] away, even if they have infinite willpower.

Any affected monster may get [[confusion|confused]] for <code>1d(power/10)</code> turns<ref>{{source ref|0.29.0|spl-transloc.cc|L1428}}</ref> if it fails a separate willpower check.

==Strategy==
Dispersal is useful in crowded situations, where some monsters will be teleported away completely, and the others will at least be sent back some distance. It's especially great against [[guardian serpent]]s and [[draconian shifter]]s, as [[Blink Allies Encircling]] can quickly surround you with enemies.

Compared to [[Iskenderun's Mystic Blast]], Dispersal is 2 levels higher and isn't also a [[Conjurations]] spell. IMB deals damage, but Dispersal will never fail to blink monsters away, while IMB can fail based on size. Also, Dispersal has the ability to teleport monsters away. Overall, the 2 level difference is a key drawback, as the Translocations investment is substantial for many character builds.

==History==
*Prior to [[0.12]], there was only a 50% chance that the monster would blink away when the teleport attempt failed.
