Pain is a warding attack spell that will cause the target extreme amounts of pain resulting in (1) a minimum health loss of 20% of the target's maximum health, and (2) the potential to placing the target in 3 to 7 seconds of roundtime (RT), temporarily incapacitating it. Pain does not cause any critical wounds. A higher warding failure and training in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy can increase both health loss and the target's RT penalty.

Lore Benefits

Necromancy Lore potentially affects the results in three ways:

1. Increased hitpoint damage
2. Increased target roundtime
3. Lower endroll thresholds

Necromancy Lore 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 seconds RT with endrolls of +166 or greater. With one rank per level (1x) of necromancy lore the endroll requirement for maximum damage/RT is reduced from +166 to +141. Lore training above one rank per level has no additional affect.

Example: A level 30 sorcerer with 15 ranks (0.5 per level) of Necromancy Lore casts Pain 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.
