“IT'S FISTING TIME!„
Overview[edit | edit source]
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 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 sorcerers because she dislikes their "thunder magic and pain". Shovel loves dragons, and a Draconic Bloodline sorcerer and/or dragonborn player character successfully convincing her they are a dragon makes 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 and permanently acquiring Shovel[edit | edit source]
Through the 
Scroll of Summon Quasit found in the Apothecary's Cellar, there are two ways a character may learn to summon her:[2]
- As a permanent spell by speaking to Shovel with a Warlock, Wizard or Draconic Bloodline Sorcerer (including being disguised as dragonborn) after summoning her with the scroll (but not by a wizard who scribed it). In the conversation the party must shovel as the name in first dialogue before going through the mirror. When the character goes through the mirror they must instagate dialogue on the other side of the mirror. This spell is not lost on respeccing.
- The scroll can also be scribed by Wizards, adding to the wizard tab in their spellbook. Like all spells scribed by Wizards, it persists through respeccing, but only amongst Wizard subclasses. If the character who scribed this spell respeccs to a different class than a Wizard, they will lose access to Shovel until they respecc at least one level to the Wizard class again.
History[edit | edit source]
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.[3]
Combat[edit | edit source]
Attacks and abilities[edit | edit source]
Similar to other 
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 surprise attacks.
Unlike ordinarily summoned quasits, Shovel has her own unique lines when taking actions. Like all familiars, Shovel can drink Elixirs, but increasing her Strength does not help her outside of increasing jump distance since her attacks always use Dexterity.

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. 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.
