OCCULTIST Class - [OCC] Litany - Class Remort Skill at 5 You drag up a black amen from somewhere older than prayer and lay it over a living foe. The litany does not merely wound. It hollows out the target's very measure of life, cutting down the flesh they can bear and dragging their present strength down with it. Black Amen is a brutal high-cost offensive litany for Occultists who want to break a dangerous enemy at the root. It is not a burst of ordinary damage. It is a spoken diminishment, a curse that makes the victim less alive than they were a breath before. <Syntax> chant blackamen <target> <Requires> Occultist <Cost> Devotion 25 <Target> One target <Effects> Reduces the target's maximum health for a short time. <Effects> Also lowers the target's current health to match the litany's hollowing effect. <Effects> Targets marked by your Outer Dark may suffer a deeper black amen. <Limits> Refreshes rather than stacks. <Notes> Best used on tough enemies early, before your heavier pressure and finishers begin to land. <Notes> This is a litany of diminishment, not a normal damage spell. Its strength lies in making the foe easier to kill for the rest of the fight.
