Casting information#

Effects and formulas#

• Applies poison damage over successive timer pulses. Let P = Spirit Speak / 10 and N = max(4, trunc(P)). Each damage roll uses a random value from P − 2 to P + 1, multiplied by 3 − 2 × target current stamina / target maximum stamina and floored at 1. Nonplayer targets take an additional ×1.75. Inscription and Necromancy school scaling apply.
• The first timer event is after 5 seconds. The timer decrements its remaining count before damage, and stops at zero, giving N − 1 damaging pulses in this implementation.
• After each nonfinal event, when N < 5 the interval drops by 1 second; otherwise it becomes min(ceil((1 + 5 × remaining count) / N), 5), with the existing 1-second floor. A pulse has a 40% chance to reveal the victim. Recasting replaces the timer.

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.
