 When cast, Death's Door gives you the '''DDoor''' status. Your health is immediately reduced to <code>power/10</code> HP (max. 20), but you are rendered immune to all damage. It also prevents all forms of healing, except for [[Borgnjor's Revivification]]. Casting that will heal you, immediately end DDoor, then [[paralyse]] you for 2-5 turns. ([[Formicid]]s are still immune to this paralysis.)
-Death's Door lasts for 10-[[27]] turns<ref>{{source ref|0.33.0|spl-selfench.cc|40}}</ref>; duration depends on spell power and is randomized. After it runs out, it gives you the -DDoor status for 1-3 turns, preventing you from recasting the spell as it wears off. You can't recast the spell as it's active.
