These spirits will surround the empath's target, causing it to wither from [[Disintegration critical table|disintegration]] damage. The spirits focus on a specific body part until it is no more or the target dies. If the body part is destroyed before death or the spell's ending, the spirits will attack the next closest location. |

Wither is a warding attack spell that draws upon an empath's spiritual connection to summon the stray spirits within an area. These spirits will surround the empath's target, causing it to wither from disintegration damage. The spirits focus on a specific body part until it is no more or the target dies. If the body part is destroyed before death or the spell's ending, the spirits will attack the next closest location.
Increased damage is possible when CHANNELing the spell from a higher stance and having an open hand.
Wither is effective against most living creatures as well as non-corporeal undead. Some creature types are immune to the spell, including many in the Insect, Golem, Construct, and Elemental families.
Lore Benefits
Skilled Empaths are able to summon additional spirits for an extra damage cycle, determined by ranks in Spiritual Lore, Summoning. The percentage chance is ranks / 1.5.
Training in Mental Lore, Manipulation allows an Empath to assist the spirits in an attempt to completely wither the target, resulting in its death. The chance is a seed 1 summation of ((Mental Lore, Manipulation ranks - 10) / 2), with a reduced chance if the warding margin is less than 50.

Warding failed!
A nebulous haze shimmers into view around a stone giant, plunging inward in a dizzying spiral to envelop her completely! Silhouetted within the shifting spiritual miasma, the giant's form withers, wasting away to an attenuated mockery of herself. Even this pale shadow disintegrates, dissolving on the air as the last cloudy tendrils vanish.
As the last of the stone giant disappears, a tiny white pearl, a twisted wand, and a glint of silver takes her place.
Attacking a creature that is immune to Wither:
A nebulous haze shimmers into view around a steel golem. The haze pulses weakly, then disperses in an explosion of cloudy tendrils.
