Dark Arts - Briars of Damnation

Type of Spell: Dark Arts

Spell Power Ranking: B

Description: The caster slices open their palm and channels dark mana through the dripping blood. As it hits the ground, the blood weaves into a spreading mass of dark, gnarled briars that surge forward in a straight path up to 15 meters, erupting from below to impale and ensnare enemies. These briars cause severe bleeding, amplifying blood loss with each strike. Because they are infused with dark mana, they can interact with ethereal or intangible beings.

Mana Cost: Medium

Limitations & Side Effects:

• Boost Limit: 3x. Affects range and number of briars, but not bleed amplification.

• The briars originate from the caster’s hand, coiling around and digging into the flesh while active.

• Requires continuous concentration to direct and control their path.

• Briars disappear if the caster loses focus or is interrupted.

Cooldown: 10 Turns

Requirements: Must slice their palm open and maintain high concentration while the briars are active.
