Each round this spell is active, the demon will lash out upon the target, in the form of a warding attack using the sorcerer's [[CS]]. If the caster does not succeed at warding the target, the force will lash back causing a warding check against the caster. The demon will continue to attack until either the caster or target is extinguished. The following conditions may augment one's defenses against each attack round of the spell. |

The maximum torment TD pushdown for a target is -100. |
|||
* The target's [[TD]] is reduced by the caster being in more offensive [[stance]]s, or the target being [[stunned]] or [[unconscious]]. |
|||
* The target's TD is increased if the caster is stunned, sleeping, or in a more defensive stance. |
|||
* Distance between caster and target can cause an increase in the target's TD. |

Training in Demonology will allow the caster to have spells prepared while Torment is running without penalty. If no spell is in preparation, Demonology ranks may then cause the demon to inflict more damage. Increased training in Demonology will allow the caster to control more individual demonic forces of this type at a time. |

Torment temporarily summons a demonic force to do battle with the caster's target. The demon is quite fickle and will end its assault if it is warded. Training in Sorcerous Lore, Demonology can enhance this spell.
Initial cast of this spell will perform a Warding attack at the target, performing an initial attack round on success. On failure, the spell ends. Every 2 seconds after the initial cast, the demon will lash out at the target in the form of a warding attack using the sorcerer's CS. These attacks will often result in unbalance, slash, or puncture critical injuries. If the demonic force does not succeed at warding the target on a given round, the spell ends. If not warded, this will continue for a maximum of 10 rounds.
Target TD Modifiers
Torment rounds modify the TD of the current target and are reconsidered on each strike by the demonic force. For each additional affliction (701, 710, 715, 716) on the target and each status condition within the below list on the target, the target suffers a -10 TD pushdown.
The maximum torment TD pushdown for a target is -100.
