Pain Spike

Casting information#

Effects and formulas#

• Initial direct damage is max((Spirit Speak − target Resisting Spells) / 10 + 18 for a player target, or +30 for a nonplayer target, 1), with Inscription, school and summon damage scaling, then integer conversion.
• After 10 seconds, a surviving target regains the original computed amount from the first Pain Spike. Further casts during that interval deal random 3–7 with the same relevant bonuses and add 2 seconds to the timer; they do not enlarge the original restoration amount.
• Uses direct damage with its own stamina algorithm. On players, it consumes Evil Omen without its 25% damage bonus; creature damage handling still applies that bonus.

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.
