Weakening Hymn
Troll Singing • Novice
Description
Throughout history, many taunting songs have been written about the faint of heart and in these tunes there are debilitating harmonies to be exploited by mystics who know how. The mystic repeatedly sings this infectious theme while fighting, thereby spreading cowardliness and weakness amongst his or her enemies. The song is interrupted if the mystic uses another mystical power or if concentration is lost by taking damage [Resolute –Damage].
