Example Messaging:	You gesture at a red bear orc raider. Your wracking curse surrounds a red bear orc raider with arcing crackles of reddish-green energy, heightening the pain that it receives! The reddish-green energy arcs around a red bear orc raider crackle ominously! Fluidly, you thrust a jewel-hilted Gnomish long blade incised with a blood channel at a red bear orc raider. A red bear orc raider fails to evade. The blade lands a solid (5/23) hit to the raider's chest.

Notes

• Room LOOK will indicate spell is present on targets.
• Causes Empathic shock, despite doing no direct damage.
• As a shocked empath, using this spell appears to mark you as a necromancer rendering you unhealable and "tainted by necromancy". This is still a significant upgrade over some time ago when use of this spell caused social outrage regardless of your location.
