'''Shovel''' is a quasit and summonable familiar that can be summoned via the [[Find Familiar: Cheeky Quasit]] spell. Unlike regular quasits, Shovel can be interacted with and has unique dialogue.


== Personality ==

{{Q|Shovel is bored! Shovel wants to murderise!|Shovel}}
== Overview==
Shovel finds joy in murder and arson, and very easily gets bored. They enjoyed working with their former master, necromancer [[Toth]], even though he often forgot to feed them.
Shovel is a carefree and upbeat fiend that finds joy in murder, arson and eating babies. She is impatient, and very easily gets bored. In spite of her irreverent demeanour, Shovel can be deeply loyal, even when denied the many pleasures of violence. Shovel is afraid of storm sorcery and wild magic sorcerers, stating she says she doesn't like their "thunder magic and pain". Shovel also loves dragons, and as a draconic bloodline sorcerer, convincing her you are a dragon will make her very excited. Should you not convince her you are a dragon, she will react disappointed and call you a "fake dragon", but she will not be afraid.
 
===Summoning Shovel===
There are two ways of summoning Shovel:
*The {{RarityItem|Scroll of Summon Quasit}} found in the [[Apothecary's Cellar]].
**This scroll can also be scribed by [[Wizard|wizards]], adding {{SAI|Find Familiar: Cheeky Quasit}} to the wizard tab in their spellbook.
* As a permanent spell by speaking to Shovel with a Warlock, Wizard or Sorcerer after summoning her with the scroll (or by a wizard who scribed it). This spell is not lost on respeccing.
 
====Permanently acquiring Shovel====
To permanently gain Shovel as a summonable familiar, see the spoiler-tagged Notes [[Scroll of Summon Quasit#Notes|here]]. By scribing the scroll on a Wizard and then talking to Shovel with another eligible character you can learn the spell on two characters. You have to summon Shovel in the apothecary cellar, otherwise she won't talk about Illyn and then won't call the other character spell-shite.
 
==History==
Shovel was owned by the necromancer [[Ilyn Toth]], who was a cruel and neglectful master. He would often verbally and physically abuse her, and often forgot to feed her. In spite of this, Shovel enjoyed working with her former master.{{ref|Dialogue with Shovel, when spoken to in [[Apothecary's Cellar]].|act1}}
 
==Combat ==
 
=== Attacks and Abilities ===
Similar to other [[Find Familiar]] summons, Shovel excels at providing chip damage and harassment in battle. Defensively, her fragile body is at best a distraction against most enemies. Her Invisibility skill is particularly useful for scouting out enemy positions and initiating fights via Surprise attacks

{{Feature box|Scare}}


Unlike ordinarily summoned quasits, Shovel has her own unique lines when using her actions.
== Acquiring Shovel ==
Shovel can be summoned temporarily via the
[[Scroll of Summon Quasit]] found in the [[Apothecary's Cellar]].


Just like all [[Find Familiar|Familiars]], Shovel can drink [[elixir]]s, but increasing her [[Strength]] doesn't help her since her attacks '''always''' use [[Dexterity]].
Scribing the spell will allows a [[Wizard]] to permanently keep the spell.


==Footnotes==
Sorcerers, Warlocks, and Wizards can also gain the spell permanently by talking to Shovel after summoning them in the Apothecary's Cellar. To do this, they must pick the first dialog option except for when it says "No. And you'll...", then go trough the Ornate Mirror and talk Shovel again.{{verify}} If acquired this way, the spell is not lost upon respeccing to a different class.

November 4th, 2023: Since Hotfix #7 there seems to be no way to permanently get the spell "Summon Shovel" as a Sorceror or Warlock.

==Notes ==
* If Shovel is summoned by scribing the spell on one character and spoken to with another, the spell can be gained by two separate characters.
* Shovel is fond of eating babies.
