Curses (skill)

Revision as of 11:16, 13 June 2013 by Iniar (talk | contribs)

Curses draw upon the Illwill of the mysterious Spirits of Aetherius for their power. Using their knowledge of the Spirits, the Wytchen are able to channel that Illwill against their opponents, cursing them with a variety of afflictions ranging from mind-numbing fear to life-threatening plague. It should be noted that the only curse that works against mobiles is 'Bleed'.

Unless stated otherwise, the syntax for using curses is CURSE < target > < curse >. (eg. CURSE AVASYU STUPID)
