Symbol of Diminishment
Step 4
The Symbol of Diminishment, governed by Lord Cholen, is obtained at the fourth rank of the Order of Voln. When successfully used, it will temporarily reduce the targeted undead's DS, UDF, TD, and CMAN defense by -1 per Voln rank (capped at -26 for Voln Masters). The target will remain in a diminished state for 2 seconds per member's rank with a maximimum duration of 52 seconds for Masters of the Order. This symbol uses the Standard success resolution system to detemine success or failure.

Lord Cholen is the patron for this step. You have to give an offering and song to the poor of the Landing. You need to drop coins in accordance with your level. (100 Coins per Level has worked.) Then head to the Shanty Town. (Lich room 311.)
Or from the bank, travel: E, SE, S, S, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, N.
Drop coins, sing I dance to honor Lord Cholen; Who brings us joy and fun; I sing such greatly praises; Today and forever more; Be joyous for all time, my friends!
The poor should come out and gather up the coins and sing with you.
