Unrandart proposal: Glaive of Dispel

[lethediver]

+ 6 Antimagic glaive
33% chance of casting Yara's violent unravelling on hit (player immune to damage from the effect)
Can be evoked to cause "cancellation" on player (same chance and evocations bonus as cloak of invis)
MR++
Drain on unequip

Enables kinda-sorta a new playstyle where you can easily destroy magic users and any nearby allies (everything from orc wizard to executioner) and have a reliable means of dealing with contam. You could use this to exchange Max mp and or XP for the ability to attempt casting dangerous (red) spells, abuse irradiate/haste/inviz/cblink, or use contam* armor safely.

Why a short sword, if it's a glaive?

[nago]

Nice idea except why a short sword

To make it easier for some dev to copy paste the stats.

If wanted, it could have slightly better stats. Dam 8, Hit+4, Speed 10 (better dmg than rapier, same accuracy and speed as dagger).

Edit: lol im dumb i forgot there was a glaive polearm. Let me edit the OP.

The problem with the proposal is that Spellbinder does it better.

[nago]

dammit right. I never had the chance to use it so I've no idea if it is good

I would ditch evokable cancellation, an unlimited supply of a very limited and powerful consumable is probably overpowered, plus i think artifacts with more than one special gimmick are overly complicated, and possible yaras on hit is fairly unique already.

[nago]

Well cloak of the theft exists and I don't think fixedart should be tailored around being very well balanced - their gimmick is to provide a unique experience even power wise.
And +inv isn't even limited to artifact!

That's the point, invis *isn't* a very limited resource, whereas cancellation is. To put another spin on it, unlimited cancellation means no contamination from haste *and* invis.

Even if you didn't want to use the glaive for its weapon ness, it would be optimal to cast haste/invis wield your glaive, cancel out all your contamination, move a bit, then when your statuses wore off, do it again.

Not to mention it making you effectively immune to stuff like slow and maybe -swift (actuallly i dont know does cancellation remove -swift?)

Regardless, antimagic is pretty darn good, and yaras is a very nice mana free randart ability to have on tap, evokable cancellation seems over the top to me personally.

it doesn't seem overpowered in a fun way, basically

[Siegurt]

Maybe if we gave it like evocable corona instead, that'd be overpowered fun

+6 glaive of shitty beer.

There is a mace with halo already isn't it? Halo is like corona on everyone around you.

Ah, but halo doesn't make them a target for yara's
