-'''RotFlares''' are a rare type of script [[flare]].  They are unusual in that they increase in frequency and severity with necromancy training, do damage over time, and can be added to weapons that already have another script (for many but not all scripts).  They are applied to weapons and runestaves.

-When RotFlares trigger, they do damage from the [[disruption critical table]].  For weapons, rotflares flare rates increase at the following thresholds, as shared by Wyrom: 0, 36, 136, 171.  The following table shows experimental data on flare rates from necromancy ranks that do not all align with these thresholds.  Given the information shared by Wyrom, the data from 90 ranks of necromancy should also apply to 36 ranks of necromancy, and the data from 180 ranks of necromancy should also apply to 171 ranks of necromancy.

 Wyrom confirmed that the rank thresholds apply to any profession equally.  Years later (2019), we learned from Wyrom that "it uses the same seed as ensorcell."  His later comments seemed to suggest that this table was accurate for flare rate, and the ensorcell seed applied to hidden disease damage, but he was not crystal clear about it.
-RotFlares also apply a [[disease]] to the target, if the target is not already diseased.  The disease damage per round is somewhat randomized, and scales with necromancy ranks.  With 0 ranks, the disease does about 10 damage per round.  With 180 ranks of necromancy, the disease inflicts more like 70 damage per round.  This disease first inflicts damage approximately 3 seconds after it is applied, then every 30 seconds thereafter.  This disease does not provide messaging when it deals damage.

-Finally, RotFlares apply a relatively modest damage-over-time (DoT) effect, separate from the disease effect.  Similar to the disease effect, it is applied only if the target is not already under the effect of a RotFlares DoT effect, and it triggers 3 seconds after it is applied.  It triggers again every 10 seconds thereafter.  The effect is visible, and can cause stuns and knockdowns.  It causes roughly 7 damage per trigger on average, and is seemingly not affected by the users' necromancy ranks.

	With these flares moving to the Combat Flourish system in August 2024, we are tentatively leaving this list until it is confirmed if they still remain incompatible or not.
