'''Step 22'''

The '''Symbol of Turning''', governed by Lord [[Phoen]], is obtained at the twenty second step of the [[Order of Voln]]. This [[symbol]] can be used as either a single target or mass attack against [[Undead|undead]] creatures. This symbol uses the [[Standard success resolution system]] to detemine success or failure. There are several possible outcomes, from benign to instant death, that may occur depending on the level of success.
  
==Syntax==

Symbol of Turning (by itself for the mass attack version)<br>
Symbol of Turning <target> (for the single target version)

==Messaging==

<div {{log}}>>sym of turning
You draw a glowing pattern in the air before you.

A [[wraith]] backs away from the pattern for a few moments.</div>

Target flees:

<div {{log}}>>sym of turn
You draw a glowing pattern in the air before you.

A wraith backs itself south.</div>

Insta-kill:

<div {{log}}>>sym of turn<br>
You draw a glowing pattern in the air before you.

A wraith lets out a blood curdling scream!
You hear a sound like a weeping child as a white glow separates itself from the wraith's body as it rises, disappearing into the heavens.</div>

Living creature:

<div {{log}}>>sym of turning goblin
You draw a glowing pattern in the air before a goblin.
A goblin does not seem to be affected.</div>

==Favor Cost==
{{Spoiler}}

Symbol of Turning has a base cost which is dependent on the member's level (not member's rank). See [[Favor#Symbol Use Favor Cost|Table]] for specific examples.

The base cost, for either the targeted or untargeted (mass attack) version, applies when there is one undead creature in the room. The mass attack version (untargeted) has an escalating cost that increases when more than one undead are present. There is no favor cost for living creatures. Favor cost for this symbol is capped at 8 undead creatures regardless of the number actually affected.

Cost example for a level 40 member (Base Cost = 219) with 4 creatures present.

*Formula with 4 undead from the above table:
: Base Cost &times; 3
*81 &times; 3 = 657 favor

===[[Favor]] Required to Obtain Symbol of Turning ===

 '''Formula: <tt>2100 + (( level<sup>2</sup> &times; 35) &divide; 3 )</tt>'''

 Ex. level 15 member: <tt>2100 + ((15 &times; 15 &times; 35) &divide; 3) = 4725 favor</tt>

 Ex. level 20 member: <tt>2100 + ((20 &times; 20 &times; 35) &divide; 3) = 6766 favor</tt>
