Numb Pain

Spells · Conjuration

Complexity 1
Strain 1
Casting Invocation, 2 AP
Duration 5
  • Brewable
  • Buff

You dull the target's pain. For the duration, the conditions its wounds impose are reduced by one step: conditions from Light Wounds are suppressed, and each Heavy Wound imposes the Light Wound condition for its location instead (head: Dazed; torso: Chest Trauma 1; arm: Weakened Grip 1; leg: Slowed 10). This covers wounds the target already has and any it takes while the spell lasts. When the spell ends, the wounds' full conditions apply again. Numb Pain doesn't heal wounds, and it doesn't stop the target from becoming Downed, Dying or Unconscious.

Optional Modifiers

  • Lingering Numbness (+1): Cast it as a Ritual instead; the duration becomes 1 hour.

Critical Success

Reduce them by two steps instead: conditions from both Light and Heavy Wounds are suppressed.
