Smite/Bane (302)
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The nature of this spell is dependent upon the deity the caster worships. Generally speaking Clerics converted to a Liabo Arkati receive Smite, and Clerics converted to a Lornon deity will receive Bane. Both are warding spells which have a base mana cost of 2.
Smite/Bane does damage to the target in two cycles. This cycle's damage has a maximum of 45 for a non-infused cast. The second cycle induces a plasma flare, which at higher successes can be fatal.
This spell can also be channeled to increase its effectiveness. A higher, more offensive stance will increase the damage done. Having one hand empty will also increase the damage, with additional benefit coming from having two empty hands.
Training in Spiritual Lore, Religion increases the damage done. This skill also increases the chance of infusion. Infusing slightly increases the damage during the first cycle. Currently infusion costs no mana. Increased training in Spiritual Lore, Religion will add to the chance of infusing (roughly Spiritual Lore, Religion skill divided by 10).
There is also a small (5%) chance of instantly killing the target when this spell is used. Channeling need not be used to gain this benefit.
Smite is more effective against undead targets, while Bane is suited better towards living enemies. If Bane is used against an undead target, or Smite is used against a living target, the spell will cost double (4 mana) with no chance of infusion. In addition, the first cycle's damage will be halved, and the second cycle's flare will be weaker. However, the chance to instantly kill the target remains regardless.

Smite/Bane Messaging
The following messaging with corresponding endrolls is based on CASTing or CHANNELing with no open hand. The endroll/messaging relationship changes when phantom endrolls are added to the attack. For example, channeling from guarded adds five phantom endrolls. These additional endrolls will change the endroll/messaging relationship. The smite messaging corresponding to a +101 endroll will shift from 'Tiny filaments of blue-white energy' to 'A scintilla of blue-white energy'.
