Spell
Thousand Slash
A devastating war incantation that channels the essence of a trapped soul through a wielded blade to unleash a catastrophic strike against a single foe within your sight. This spell requires you to grasp a bladed weapon in one hand and carry a soulstone containing a captive soul, which is consumed upon casting while leaving behind an inert stone. The spell's potency scales dramatically with increased spell slot levels, culminating in a ruinous 1000 damage when cast at the highest circle of magic. However, this dark magic exacts a terrible price—the save difficulty decreases by one for each level of upcast, making the spell increasingly difficult to resist as its power grows. Should the target successfully resist the spell's effects, the backlash of unleashed soul-power rebounds upon the caster, though you suffer only a quarter of the damage that would have been inflicted upon your enemy. This spell affects only a single target and requires direct line of sight to your intended victim.
