Notes

• Does not cause SO.
• Always displays the name of the attacker to the victim.
• Vivisection now uses the same calculations as snipe, with Thanatology replacing Backstab/Scouting in the calculations. In addition, the spell is treated as the equivalent of a Hunter's Bow.
• Casts will train Stealth as well as TM.
