Venomous Snare

UncommonIllusion, Arcane

Set a hidden trap that, when triggered, releases an illusionary burst of poison to debilitate its victim.

Placement always fails while any living enemy can see you. Hearing alone does not block it. A failed attempt still spends mana and action points.

When its last active effect on you ends, the log shows “Ended Venomous Snare”. Expiration, dispelling and actions that break the effect all count; refreshing it does not.

Cast by a Mage, the class that can take Illusion furthest. Its casting attribute (Intelligence) was 4 at first and 10 at its best. The minimum respects the level’s proficiency budget; other attribute allocations and equipment can change when you can afford it.

Cast in a test arena at its best: spent 48 mana; 1 trap(s) placed.

Effect strengths describe potential output. Projectile and area contacts are not simulated, and abilities that need a chest, trap or another special target still require that situation in play.
