Pain (711) is a CS-based warding spell that, when successful, will cause the target extreme amounts of pain resulting in a minimum health loss of 20% of the target's maximum health, and the potential to temporarily incapacitate the target for a short duration by placing it in roundtime. There are no critical injuries associated with this spell.

Depending on warding failure and Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy ranks both health loss and the target's RT penalty can be increased. 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.

The following information is a product of Gespry's research on Pain.

Lore Benefit

Necromancy lore potentially affects the results in three ways:

1. Increased hitpoint damage
2. Increased target roundtime
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.
