Olgreb's Toxic Radiance (often abbreviated as OTR) is a level 4 Poison Magic spell which hurts and poisons any creatures without poison resistance in the caster's line of sight for a few turns. The damage done is 1d(1+power/20) per turn (time scaled if necessary). This damage ignores AC, and is modified by the victim's poison resistance or vulnerability (monsters with one level of resistance are immune).
This spell is not the crowd control nuke one might expect. Poison works best when stacked with repeated applications, so using this to directly kill whole groups of monsters would take ages and lots of mana. What this spell will do is thin out a mixed or partly-injured crowd, killing off weak and injured monsters while chipping away at the stronger ones. It is capable of effectively killing off insects and spiders (almost all of which are vulnerable to poison), which makes it very useful in the Spider's Nest and in ant or bee hives.
Tips & Tricks
- You can combine this spell with Ignite Poison to deal approximately 200%-300% of the potential poison damage to every poisoned monster in sight immediately, depending on spell power.
