OCCULTIST Class - [OCC] Chant - Level 25 You speak a hard mercy into flesh and blood. The litany steadies the target at once, mends a measure of hurt, and may drive out some lingering afflictions. For a brief span after, pain dulls, breath evens, and the body holds together under pressure. Iron Mercy is the Occultist's field dressing prayer. It is not a great miracle and it is not soft kindness. It is a cold hand on the wrist, a harsh word through clenched teeth, and just enough mercy to keep someone alive through the next exchange. <Syntax> ironmercy <Syntax> ironmercy <ally> <Requires> Occultist <Cost> Devotion: 3 <Target> Self by default, or one character in the room <Effects> Restores an immediate amount of health. <Effects> Applies a short defensive package with damage reduction, light hit regen, and a small dodge boost. <Effects> May remove certain hostile lingering effects. <Cleanse> Each of these has a 25% chance to be cleared: Bloodfire Rend, Venom Gash, Blight Grow, Poison, Tormenting Visions, and Hex Misfortune. <Limits> Refreshes its own effect rather than stacking. <Notes> Good for stabilizing yourself or patching up an ally during a rough fight. <Notes> Best used as damage control, not as a full heal.
