Summon Taikasauva

This article is about the spell. For the enemy, see Taikasauva. |
Summon Taikasauva (listen 
) is a utility spell which summons a flying wand to fight for you. The wand created is randomly generated, just like any other wand you find in the world. It behaves just like a 
Charmed enemy and will retaliate if you shoot at it.
It will drop gold nuggets when defeated, as well as the wand itself for you to pick up. It has only a single use but can be refreshed.
Spells
This spell calls forth Tier 3 wands, which will spawn with a random selection of Tier 2 spells most of the time.
Wand generators pull spells from one tier lower, so a Tier 3 wand will have Tier 2 spells in it for example. There is also a 10% chance that a wand will take a projectile from a higher tier. This check is done multiple times until the 10% roll fails, meaning the chosen projectile can be from many tiers higher.
Wands can also have always cast spells that fall outside of the prior listed spells.
Tips
- As you cannot control what type of wand this spell initially calls forth, it can potentially be extremely dangerous to you if, for example, it contains Earthquake or Nuke spells.
- This spell can also be used to reanimate any existing dropped wands if they are close by when you cast it.
- With the right combination of Greek Letter spells, this spell can be used to generate countless spells and wands.
- The mechanics regarding the summoning of wands can be abused to resummon the same wand multiple times, farming useful spells.
- This happens because the wand you get appears to be randomised based on the xy coordinates of the spell cast.
- To put this into practice, you need three things:
- Summon Taikasauva
- Alpha or Gamma
- A Wand Refresh can be used instead to permanently keep Summon Taikasauva at 1 use remaining.
- Alternatively, using only Summon Taikasauva and Long-Distance Cast you can get a large number of similar wands quickly, though due to its inaccuracy you will be unable to farm as precisely.
- A wand with an end width of 1 pixel that is long enough to touch the ground
- Using these spells, you can walk in either direction until you find a spell you like, then try to stay still and move your mouse cursor until you find and area you can recognise well enough to repeatedly cast the spell from. Once you have this spot, pick up the wand without moving, take the spell or throw it somewhere safe, drop the wand and repeat.
- Summoning wands will be easier if you've made yourself a long tunnel with a black hole beforehand and have the Tinker with Wands Everywhere perk. Linear Arc or Horizontal Path can be used to further simplify things. Shooting straight up in this tunnel with your wand touching the roof is the easiest way to generate large numbers of the same wands.
- Taikasauva don't know what spells they have, so even if they have only Healing Bolt, they will not heal you and will instead heal enemies.
Wand Builds
Shoot this at the statue in the Holy Mountain to generate many wands from a single charge - this is a useful early game tactic if you happen across the spell.
More suitable build for searching wands and spells. Uses a Pollen Loop to spawn and kill many wands.
