Dart

  ENVENOM DART <direction> WITH <venom>

Commodities: 1 wood

The dart trap shoots out a dart when sprung. It does no damage, but may be envenomed from vials with venom in them, in which case the dart will poison the victim with whatever venom was applied to the trap. With great skill you will be able to set up the traps so that they will only be set off by your enemies.

Affinity

 CREATE AFFINITY

Your commitment to Nature has reached a point that allows you to develop a particularly strong affinity to one of ten environment types found in the wilds of Aetherius. When bound with this environment, you may call upon the aid of creatures unique to the region, and eventually learn to invoke the wrath of the wilds. To use this skill, you must be located in the environment and use the above-listed syntax.

Affinities:

  • Dark Forest
  • Underground
  • Forest
  • Desert
  • Swamp
  • Tundra
  • Jungle
  • Grasslands
  • Beach - Encompassing Beach and Ocean environments

Bite

 SURGE <animal>

Your mastery of animal pheromones will enable you to drive a fox-type animal (fox, lynx, salamander, coyote, ocelot, crab, yak, snow fox, beaver, caracal) into a frenzy. Instead of its next timed attack, the animal will seep poison into its target's veins, slowing his or her salve absorption.

This ability consumes equilibrium and does not require balance, making it combo-able with other attacks. The hormonal surge will end with the animal's first attack or after 15 seconds.

Snare

Commodities: 1 rope

This trap will snare an opponent like a hare heading for the cooking pot. It will only fire if you are in the same or adjacent room as the target.

Your mastery of animal pheromones will enable you to drive a lemming-type animal (lemming, hare, raccoon, ferret, tamarin, heron, chinchilla, ermine, duck, vulture) into a frenzy. Instead of its next timed attack, the animal randomly strip one of its target's defences.

Noose

This is the snare trap's more powerful cousin. It snares someone, but it proceeds to strangle that person until he or she writhes out of the trap. It will only fire if you are in the same or adjacent room as the target.
