Jinxbite is a level 2 Hexes spell. It gives attacks some extra damage and drain status for a short time, but halves the caster's willpower in the process.

Hexslingers start with this spell in their libraries.

Useful Info

Grants the Jinxbite (Jinx) status. Whenever you make an attack, even if you miss, there is a willpower-based chance to cause extra effects:

• Deal 2 + 2d(power/25) irresistible damage (never misses, ignores AC).
• Inflict the drain status for 3-5 turns.

Jinxbite triggers when attacking with melee, ranged weapons, and damaging Throwing implements. It does trigger with cleaving (hitting multiple targets normally) and Vhi's Electric Charge, but does not trigger with Manifold Assault.

This spell can only be cast if there are hostile monsters in line of sight. It lasts for 9 + pow/4 to 15 + pow/4 turns. However, it ends if you spend 2 turns without any monsters in sight, regardless of the duration.

History
