'''Pain (711)''' is a [[CS]]-based [[warding]] spell that, when successful, will cause the target extreme amounts of pain resulting in health loss and the potential to temporarily incapacitate the target for a short duration.
[[Category:Sorcerer Base Spells]]

This spell will cause the target extreme amounts of pain, resulting in health loss and the potential to temporarily incapacitate the target for short amounts of time. Depending upon [[warding]] failure, between 20% and 35% of target’s ''maximum'' health is lost, and up to seven seconds of [[roundtime]] can be inflicted on the most successful of casts.

Training in [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] increases the potency of the magic by reducing the threshold of warding required to achieve each level of pain's effect. 0.3 ranks per level is required to achieve the full effect of 35% health loss and 7 sec RT at an [[endroll]] of 166 or greater. At 1x, the enroll required is dropped to 141+. Training beyond 1x has no effect on Pain.


Dependant upon warding failure, between 20% and 35% of a target’s '''maximum''' [[Hitpoint|health]] is lost, and up to 7 seconds of [[roundtime]] can be inflicted on the most successful casts. Training in [[Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy]] increases the potency of the magic by reducing warding thresholds required to achieve each level of pain's effect. A minimum of 0.3 ranks per level is required to achieve the full effect of 35% health loss and 7 sec RT at an [[endroll]] of 166 or greater. With one rank per level (1x) of necromancy lore the endroll requirement for maximum damage/RT is reduced to 141. Training beyond 1x has no additional affect on Pain.
Further testing indicates that the effect thresholds against creatures are based on Lore training per ''target'' level, not caster level. Each rank of Lore is compared to the target's [[level]]. So, for example, 50 ranks is sufficient to receive 35% damage against a level 50 creature on a 141+ endroll, counting as "1x," regardless of the caster's level.

Necromancy lore potentially affects the results in three ways:

1. Increased [[hitpoint]] damage<br>
2. Increased target [[Roundtime]]<br>
3. Lower [[Endroll]] thresholds

Example: A level 30 sorcerer with 15 ranks (0.5 per level) of necromancy lore casts Pain (711) at a target. With an endroll of 125 the target will sustain an HP loss of 29% of its maximum health. The associated messaging will be ''{Target} is wracked with painful spasms!'' and the target will also incur 4 seconds of RT.

Pain (711) is a CS-based warding spell that, when successful, will cause the target extreme amounts of pain resulting in health loss and the potential to temporarily incapacitate the target for a short duration.

Dependant upon warding failure, between 20% and 35% of a target’s maximum health is lost, and up to 7 seconds of roundtime can be inflicted on the most successful casts. Training in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy increases the potency of the magic by reducing warding thresholds required to achieve each level of pain's effect. A minimum of 0.3 ranks per level is required to achieve the full effect of 35% health loss and 7 sec RT at an endroll of 166 or greater. With one rank per level (1x) of necromancy lore the endroll requirement for maximum damage/RT is reduced to 141. Training beyond 1x has no additional affect on Pain.
