You trace magical runes over a beating heart and squeeze its fluids down your
throat, gagging slightly as you swallow.
You feel your mind slip into a trance-like state.

First time using Black Trance on myself...

Your shadow familiar covers the corpse and consumes it.
Your Shadow Familiar shrieks as it advances a level!

You take Fire wand (3/100) and one mowgles coin
Ice wand (3/100) explodes!
Fire wand (3/100) explodes!
You watch with selfpride as your chill touch hits Edvina.
You feel like you managed to channel additional POWER to your spell.
A flame arrow hits you.
You watch with selfpride as your flame arrow hits yourself.

'Slow death is used by our followers during combat. It allows them to poison
their foe so as to add an additional source of damage as they are fighting.'
'A cultists weapon can provide fine damage to his or her target, but having an
additional toxin on the blade will increase that damage even further.'
'Black trance was given its name by the look a cultist takes on as he or she
introduces this poison to their own bloodstream. Somewhat vampiric in nature,
this poison converts one type of energy from the caster into another.'

You join the Followers of the Scorpion.
A dark sultry voice fills your mind:
'Seek my ancient temple in the sands near Tarackia, hidden in the desert
wastes
in south Desolathya. There you shall follow the dark path of your Goddess
Aelena
and begin your lessons in mastering the arts of deception, treachery, and
venoms. Serve me well and you shall be rewarded with my power. Fail me, and
your
soul will exist in eternal anguish, for you are now mine!
Channel aelena is now on.
[aelena]: Carthes the Venom Slave pledges his soul to the Queen of Poisons.

You have been granted the poison slow death.
You have been granted the poison rusted blade.
You have been granted the poison black trance.
