Step 11

The Symbol of Sleep is obtained at the eleventh step of the Order of Voln. This symbol can be used as either a single target or mass disabling attack against both undead and living creatures. The mass version of this symbol does not affect other player characters in the room. This symbol uses the Standard success resolution system to detemine success or failure.

Syntax

Type:
Symbol of Sleep (by itself for the mass version)
Symbol of Sleep <target> (for the single version)

Messaging

Initial cast:

You draw a glowing pattern in the air before you.

A wraith's eyes roll up into its head as it slumps to the ground.

Symbol Effects

Causes target/targets to fall asleep, temporarily disabling them from engaging in combat and reducing their ability to defend themselves.

Favor Cost

Symbol of Sleep has a cost of 48 units of favor when either targeted or untargeted with one creature present in the room. The units of favor cost escalates when addition creatures are present. The first two creatures cost 48 units of favor each. Additional creatures cost 24 units of favor each.

Cumulative cost example:

  • One creature = 48 units of favor
  • Two creatures = 96 units of favor
  • Three creatures = 120 units of favor
  • Four creatures = 144 units of favor
48 + 48 + 24 + 24 etc.

Note: Characters under level 40 have a reduced favor cost which scales with level.
