'''Shovel''' is a unique quasit and familiar that can be [[Summon|summoned]] via the {{SAI|Find Familiar: Cheeky Quasit}} spell.

'''Shovel''' is a unique quasit and [[Summon|summonable]] familiar that can be summoned via the {{SAI|Find Familiar: Cheeky Quasit}} spell.
== Overview ==
{{Q|IT'S FISTING TIME!|Shovel's battle cry}}
==Overview==
Unlike regular quasits, Shovel has unique dialogue and can be interacted with after summoning her.{{ref|Shovel is referred to as she in the description of the Steam achievement ''Rude, Crude, and Full of Attitude'': Find and summon the quasit Shovel. Or is her name... Fork? Maybe Basket?}} 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 afraid of Sorcerers with [[Storm Sorcery]] or [[Wild Magic (Sorcerer subclass)|Wild Magic]], 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 you are a dragon will make her very excited. Should you fail to convince her you are a dragon, she will react disappointed and call you a "fake dragon", but she will not be afraid.
Shovel is a carefree and upbeat fiend that finds joy in murder, arson, and eating babies. She is impatient and very easily bored, but despite her irreverent demeanour, Shovel can be deeply loyal even when denied the pleasures of violence. Shovel is terrified of [[Storm Sorcery]] and [[Wild Magic (Sorcerer subclass)|Wild Magic]] [[Sorcerer|sorcerers]] because she dislikes their "thunder magic and pain". She loves dragons, though, and as a [[Draconic Bloodline]] sorcerer and/or [[Dragonborn|dragonborn]], convincing her the interacting party member is a dragon will make her very excited. If failing to convince her, she is disappointed and refers to the party member as a "fake dragon", and she is no longer afraid.


===Summoning Shovel===
=== Summoning and permanently acquiring Shovel ===
There are two ways of summoning Shovel:
Through the {{SmRarityItem|Scroll of Summon Quasit}} found in the [[Apothecary's Cellar]] there are two ways of summoning Shovel:{{ref|As of Patch 7, only one character can learn how to summon shovel. If a Wizard scribes this spell, another Warlock, Wizard, or Sorcerer will be unable to get the "spell-shite" dialogue that grants Shovel as a familiar. Before Patch 7, by scribing the scroll on a wizard and then talking to Shovel with another eligible character, it was possible to learn the spell for two party members.}}
*The {{SmRarityItem|Scroll of Summon Quasit}} found in the [[Apothecary's Cellar]].  
# 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.
**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 ''for the second time'' with a Storm Sorceror or Wild Sorceror, with the first conversation happening by the summoner of a different class. The summoner must be of any other class, and then must carry the conversation through the discussion about the book. Then immediately re-speak to Shovel as a Storm or Wild Sorceror, and Shovel will become a permanent spell option.
*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.
# The scroll can also be scribed by [[Wizard|Wizards]], adding {{SAI|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.


==== Permanently acquiring Shovel====
== History ==
To permanently gain Shovel as a summonable familiar, see {{SmRarityItem|Scroll of Summon Quasit}}. By scribing the scroll on a Wizard and then talking to Shovel with another eligible character it's possible to learn the spell for two party members.
Shovel was owned by the necromancer [[Ilyn Toth]], who was a cruel and neglectful master. He often verbally and physically abused her and forgot to feed her. Despite this, Shovel enjoyed working with her former master.{{ref|Dialogue with Shovel, when spoken to in [[Apothecary's Cellar]]}}


==History==
== Combat ==
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.{{ref|Dialogue with Shovel, when spoken to in [[Apothecary's Cellar]]}}
=== Attacks and abilities ===
Similar to other {{SAI|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 enemy positions and initiating fights via [[Surprised (Condition)|surprise]] attacks.


==Combat==
Unlike ordinarily summoned quasits, Shovel has her own unique lines when taking actions. Like all familiars, Shovel can drink [[Elixir]]s, but increasing her [[Strength]] does not help her outside of increasing jump distance since her attacks '''always''' use [[Dexterity]].

Just like all Familiars, Shovel can drink [[Elixir]]s, but increasing her [[Strength]] doesn't help her since her attacks '''always''' use [[Dexterity]].
