[edit] Description
Poison is an attack spell that is cast on a single target. It does a certain amount of damage per turn until the target dies, receives a Heal or Mass Healing spell, or the combat ends. It does not require line of sight.
[edit] Comments
Poison can be cast by:
- Hero with Basic Death magic - Does 11 damage per turn plus 1 per level of the hero, or up to 2 with the Demonology skill.
- Mage (Order unit) - Does 2.4 damage per mage, per turn (fractions always rounded down).
Poison can also be delivered by an attack, under the following circumstances:
- Venom Spawn (Death unit) - Does 20 damage per venom spawn, per turn on attack (but also affected by morale, luck and range penalties) (unconfirmed info)
- Hero wielding the Poison Arrow or Ring of the Cobra's Eye artifacts.
- The Ninja, an advanced class hero class, does poison damage with each attack based on that hero's level.
A creature can be afflicted with both Poison, and Plague at the same time. Poison cannot be removed with exorcism nor can it be dispelled - only a heal, mass healing spell, or Divine Intervention can remove it before combat ends.
