Version 0.27: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
The card depicts an iron wheel, menacing with spikes and rusted with blood.

Drawing this card unleashes a necromantic attack spell.

The Pain card unleashes a necromantic attack spell, determined by power level:

  • Power level 0: Agony
  • Power level 1: Bolt of Draining
  • Power level 2: Invokes torment against all living creatures in your line of sight, excluding yourself.

History

  • Prior to 0.25, at level 2 the Pain card would summon a flayed ghost and flay all natural monsters in sight for 40% of their HP. The flaying was reversed when the flayed ghost died.
  • Prior to 0.20, level 2 effects were weaker. Enemies were flayed only for 20% of their HP, and the card dealt 5 damage to the player. Also, if there was no space to spawn a flayed ghost, the card did nothing instead of downgrading to level 1 effect (Bolt of Draining).
  • The Pain card could be found in the following decks over the past several versions. In older versions it could cast Symbol of Torment, a mixed blessing for the player.
