{{flavour|It will cause any target it hits to blink, with a tendency towards blinking further away from the one who threw it.}}

The '''dispersal''' [[brand]] is only found on [[dart]]s. It causes ammunition to force enemies that it damages to [[blink]] semi-randomly, usually away from the shooter. It does not check [[willpower]], but can miss, and fails against [[stationary]] monsters (e.g. [[statue]]s, [[oklob plant]]s).

Darts of dispersal are single-use; they will always [[mulch]] after being thrown.

==Tips & Tricks==
*You don't need to keep dispersal darts quivered to have easy access to them, and probably don't want to be using them for most fights anyway; just hit '''F''' and select them from your inventory to fire.
*You cannot target yourself with this effect.
*The dart needs to hit for the blink effect to occur, so investing a few levels into Throwing can be helpful.

==History==
*Darts of dispersal were removed from level generation in [[0.33]], making the brand unobtainable. They were replaced with [[disjunction (brand)|darts of disjunction]].
*Prior to [[0.31]], the dispersal brand could be found on [[boomerang]]s, not [[dart]]s. In addition, dispersal boomerangs needed to deal damage in order to cause the blink effect.
*Prior to [[0.30]], mulched items did not deal extra damage.
*Prior to [[0.24]], [[tomahawk]]s existed and could have this brand.
*Prior to [[0.18]], arrows could be branded, including with dispersal.
*Prior to [[0.15]], dispersal [[dart]]s also existed.
