Harmshield

Bring your blood to the surface of your skin and infuse it with caustic properties. Any physical damage dealt to you within a 6m radius will cause blood to splash on the attacking enemy, dealing damage.

Provoking Phantoms

The longer you stay focused on the same enemy in combat, the more terrifying you will become to them, deepening their fear and hatred of you exponentially over time.

Dire Mark

You mark a member of your group. Whenever that group member takes damage, X% of that damage will be redirected to you.

Essence Thief

The shock of this exchange of essence will affect your enemy in different ways based on their Entity Type (Humanoid, Animal, Insect, Incorporeal, etc.)

Baleful Severing

You sever your enemy’s will and command them to be still. In this helpless state, the next attack against them will not miss and cannot be dodged, parried, blocked, riposted or resisted. When the attack lands, fills your Essence Vial to full.
