(Removed, "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." as it's no longer true. In Patch 6 I've successfully scribed the spell in camp, summoned her, then had my Tav (respec'ed to Wizard) talk to her to gain the permanent ability to summer her.)

Overview

Unlike regular quasits, Shovel has unique dialogue and can be interacted with after summoning her.[1] Her name can be changed to Fork or Basket through dialogue.

Shovel is a carefree and upbeat fiend that finds joy in murder, arson and eating babies. She is impatient and very easily gets bored, but in spite of her irreverent demeanour, Shovel can be deeply loyal, even when denied the pleasures of violence. Shovel is terrified of Storm Sorcery and Wild Magic Sorcerers, stating that she doesn't like their "thunder magic and pain". She loves dragons, though, and as a Draconic Bloodline sorcerer and/or Dragonborn, convincing her the interacting party member is a dragon will make her very excited. If failing to convince her, she will react disappointed and call the party member a "fake dragon", and she will no longer be afraid.

Summoning and permanently acquiring Shovel

Through the Scroll of Summon Quasit found in the Apothecary's Cellar there are two ways of summoning Shovel:[2]

  1. As a permanent spell by speaking to Shovel with a Warlock, Wizard or Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer after summoning her with the scroll (but not by a wizard who scribed it). This spell is not lost on respeccing.
  2. The scroll can also be scribed by Wizards, adding Find Familiar: Cheeky Quasit Find Familiar: Cheeky Quasit to the wizard tab in their spellbook. Like all spells scribed by Wizards, it persists through respeccing, but only amongst your Wizard spells. If the character who scribed this spell stops being a Wizard, they will lose access to Shovel until they become a Wizard again.

History

Shovel was owned by the necromancer Ilyn Toth, who was a cruel and neglectful master. He would often verbally and physically abuse her as well as forget to feed her. In spite of this, Shovel enjoyed working with her former master.[3]
