Ebon Blood of the Scorpion

	Ebon Blood of the Scorpion
Abbreviation:	EBOTS
Prerequisites:	Must be Redeemed, Emuin's Candlelight, Blood Burst
Signature:	Yes
Spell Slots:	3
Ward Slots:	This spell uses 1 ward slot when cast by Necromancers.
Mana Type:	Arcane Magic
Spell Type:	metamagic / -
Description:	Few know the secrets of the fatal poison called Urrem'tier's Blood. Precious to priests and demons, it has been the cause of more than one holy war. Dwelling in that sacrosanct Chalice are the alyurynaen. They're microscopic blood symbiotes which can, according to some, purge necromantic stain from spell patterns. Whether or not that is wishful thinking, Blood Magic certainly behaves differently in alyuryn proximity.
Effect:	Changes Heighten Pain, Siphon Vitality, and Blood Burst
Example Messaging:	You have learned this spell as a supplement to Blood Magic; it cannot be cast singly. Blood Burst: The implacable, symbiotic blood in your veins wells up through your pores. You swipe your fingertips over your hand, collecting blood on them. Heighten Pain: Writhing black and red alyuryn-infested particles form around the silver-backed bear and pierce its body! Writhing black and red particles leap from the dead silver-backed bear and into another bear's body! Siphon Vitality: Part of the life force your spell stole transmits back along the tendril, feeding and stimulating your alyurynaen as a numbing cold blooms outward from your heart. Your alyurynaen perish in droves for your sake. The last of your alyurynaen perish in droves for your sake. The alyurynaen return to dormancy.
Devices/Tattoos:	No devices or tattoos documented.

Notes

• Learning this spell will kill you.
• Metaspell with three Blood Magic effects:

1. Heighten Pain gains practically infinite duration but becomes limited to one target at a time. If a creature dies with it, the curse will jump to another creature in the room.
2. Siphon Vitality's vitality healing effect is replaced by a vitality shield that is more efficient per point of damage if you have a free ward slot available.

• This barrier lasts 10-40 minutes, proportional to its hit points at the time of the cast.
• The barrier takes up a ward slot which is freed up when the duration ends or the barrier is used up.
• If you do not have a ward slot avaiable when Siphon Vitality is cast then the original vitality healing effect occurs instead.

1. Blood Burst loses its bleeder requirement / vitality cost.

• The term alyuryn translates as "holy scorpion" in Gamgweth. Alyurynaen is the plural form.
• Like all other Anabasis spells, this is not taught by the various guildleaders.
• Like all other Anabasis spells, this spell only functions while Redeemed.
