History

  • Prior to 0.28, Black Mark would not reroll if it got a useless effect.
  • Prior to 0.27, the player version was the third rank of the demonspawn mutation, not the second.
  • Gloorx Vloq had this spell in 0.18.
  • Since 0.17, black Mark no longer has vampiric effect (healing the player for 1d(damage done-1)); its other effects are now stronger. Also, the set of effects had slow instead of weak.
  • Black Mark was added in 0.14.
