Spore Bow

A Spore Bow is a script for Ranged Weapons that emits harmful and hindering fungi dust and spores. It was introduced at the Bloodriven Village shop, The Fairy Ring in February 2023. Its different unlock tiers open up new abilities, some of which are passive/automatic, while others must be manually activated. Tier 1 An off the shelf spore bow has access to several basic features. Spore Flares, Spore Burst, Spore Expel, and Symbiosis In addition to flares, it releases stacking spore bursts that lower the defenses of your foes, it has an effect that spreads to 1-5 targets upon death of an affected foe, and it empowers your spellcasting in mushroom-friendly terrain via Environmental Symbiosis. Its ambient messaging can be turned on or off via PROD. Spore Flares and Spore Burst Spore Flares leave a stacking debuff of -5DS/-3TD on any corporeal foes. This debuff can stack up to 5x before triggering a Spore Burst, doing direct damage to the foe. This flare rate is higher than the standard 12.5% for runestaves. This is a pre-resolution flare with level penalties akin to that of Dispel (If your foe is 11 levels over you, there is a 10% chance of a trigger flare's failure, per level over yours, until a 100% failure at +20 levels.). Spore Expel Creatures that die under the effect of the spores will spread the spores to up to 5 additional creatures in the room, carrying 1 stack of the debuff to those creatures. A shan cleric expels a cloud of luminescent spores into the surroundings. A dusty haze carries countless glowing spores to a shan wizard. Symbiosis Symbiosis - +3CS/+5AS when in specific terrains. Energy flows through you as the lilac-swept amethyst deceiver mushrooms on your yumi coax power from the symbiotic environs.
