Skills and Abilities

Prologue

Fright Force

A basic ranged magical attack.

Pool of Shadow

The enemy slams their staff into the ground, creating a pool of dark energy all around them, indicated by a circular AoE, which lingers for a time and deals constant damage when inside.

Shadeway

The enemy casts a spell that launches two slow and heavier-hitting projectiles. This can be interrupted to set the enemy off-balance.

Shadowy Duplicate

The enemy teleports a short distance away, leaving a Shadow in their place. The shadow will cast Fright Force dealing minor magic damage until it is killed. When killed, it explodes and leaves a Pool of Shadow in its place.

Drain Essence

The enemy drains your life force, dealing high magic damage and restoring its health every 1 second for 3 seconds.

Red Breath

The enemy sprays a red mist in a cone in front of itself dealing moderate magic damage and knocking down any targets hit by it.

Summon Bound Hemoptera

The enemy summons a Bound Hemoptera, which channels a buff on their summoner that causes them to do twice the damage and take less damage. If the Hemoptera is interrupted, it becomes an Unbound Hemoptera. They will be rebound to their summoner after a few seconds.

Sacrifice Hemoptera

The enemy can destroy its Hemoptera to heal itself.

Dialogue

If you're in the wilderness in other zones, you may be subjected by an ambush by vampires:

Vampire Shadowcaster: "What luck…fresh blood!"

Vampire Darkblade: "Am I too late?"

You may see them feeding on a victim in the wilderness in other zones. With a Darkblade or Legionary:

Vampire Darkblade: "Mmmm, this one looks delicious."

Vampire Darkblade: "Just a taste for now."

Vampire Shadowcaster: "Dryskin, we feed together."

Vampire Shadowcaster: "You are too generous."

Vampire Shadowcaster: "I feel like gorging myself."

Vampire Legionary: "Spineless worm! That blood is ours!"

With a Bloodarrow:

Vampire Bloodarrow: "Someone left me dinner."

Vampire Bloodarrow: "Just a quick drink."

Vampire Shadowcaster: "You couldn't wait?"
