Effects and formulas#
- Binds caster and target for school-scaled [(Spirit Speak − target Resisting Spells) / 8 + 8] seconds. Either party already in an oath prevents a second oath.
- When the bound target damages the oath caster, the caster’s incoming damage modifier gains 20%. If the caster survives, the original damage is reflected to the attacker.
- For a player oath caster the reflection uses the original damage without resistance mitigation. For a creature oath caster, reflected damage is trunc(original damage × [1 − (attacker Resisting Spells × 0.5 + 10) / 100]).
- Death/deletion or curse removal breaks the bond.
Notes#
- Magery–Necromancy school conflict can reduce the effects identified as school-scaled. Listed mana and cast delay are base values; equipment and casting rules modify actual costs and timing.
