Description:

By use of this skill the character is able to disable a limb or Stun a target character with an evil rot depending on where the target character is struck. If a limb is affected, the limb is useless until healed. If the torso is struck, the targeted character is affected by a Stun effect for 5 seconds. The attack can be delivered by touch or channeled through a weapon.

The effected limb can only be healed by faith healing. An attack against a torso does not require healing after the Stun effect is over.

This skill requires the use of a verbal, which must be at least 5 syllables, not including the skill’s name, and must contain some reasonably recognizable version of the name of the skill. This skill can be delivered by touch, thrown, or through a weapon. If delivered through a weapon, the targeted character must be struck and weapons and shields will stop the attack. If the character misses their target, whether thrown or delivered threw a weapon, or the target uses a martial skill to stop the attack, the skill is not used. If the attack is stopped by a Resist Evil skill or a magical defense that stops physical attacks, the skill is used.
