Disintegrate is a core warding attack spell which causes portions of a target's body to melt away.

Under normal circumstances, the spell inflicts two damage cycles upon the target. If the target is stunned, or if the target is non-corporeal undead, a third damage cycle will take place.

Additionally, casting this spell upon an item will cause it to be destroyed.

Usage

  • PREP 705 | CAST {target} or INCANT 705 to cast this spell normally

  • PREP 705 | CHANNEL {target} to channel the spell for additional damage, incurring 3 sec. of hard RT
  • INCANT 705 CHANNEL to channel this spell once using INCANT

  • PREP 705 | EVOKE {target} to cast Disintegrate Bolt (requires 20 ranks of Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy)
  • INCANT 705 EVOKE to evoke this spell once using INCANT
  • INCANT 705 CHANNEL EVOKE to channel the evoke version of this spell once using INCANT

  • INCANT SET CHANNEL 705 to always channel this spell using INCANT 705
  • INCANT SET EVOKE 705 to always evoke this spell using INCANT 705
  • Using INCANT SET CHANNEL followed by INCANT SET EVOKE will always channel the evoked version of the spell using INCANT 705

Lore Benefits

Training in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy provides three benefits:

Bolt Version

As mentioned above, 20 ranks of Necromancy Lore unlocks the ability for Disintegrate to be cast as a bolt spell, which is cast using PREP 705, EVOKE {target}.

Opponent Effectiveness Reduction

Necromancy Lore provides the ability for both the regular and bolt aspects of the spell to apply the Weakened Armament debuff for 60 seconds when the target is struck. The percent chance is based upon a seed 6 summation of the caster's Necromancy ranks.

The effect(s) stacks and the duration renews each time the lore benefit triggers. (not confirmed for PSM3)

Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy ranks 6 13 21 30 40 51 63 76 90 105 121 138 156 175 195 216 238
Chance for Weakened Armament debuff 1% 2% 3% 4% 5% 6% 7% 8% 9% 10% 11% 12% 13% 14% 15% 16% 17%

Damage Factor Bonus

Training in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy increases the bolt version only damage factor (DF).

Necromancy
Lore Ranks
Damage Factor
Increase
1 to 50
0.001 per rank
51 to 100
0.001 per two ranks
101 to 200
0.001 per four ranks

The total DF increase with 200 ranks Necromancy lore is 0.100.

Channel Damage

Channeling provides additional damage by boosting the effective warding margin of a spell. Thus a channeled spell with bonuses of 25 and a warding roll of 101 would do the same damage as a cast spell with a warding roll of 126. Stance gives a bonus of 4 at guarded and 20 at offensive. Disintegrate is a special cast that only takes stance into account, and not the open hand factor. This bonus is added on top of any other applicable warding margin bonuses, such as an incapacitated target (+15 for most spells), or the charge-up effect of Fervent Reproach. This applies to both warding and bolt versions of the spell.

STANCE OFF ADV FOR NEU GUA
Bonus +20 +16 +12 +8 +4
