Just an idea I had, because goddamn, do I *hate* wrack as it is now.

How about since celestians pull out the soul and destroy it, nihilists can do the opposite (kind of) and separate the soul while destroying the body?

Sheathing yourself in the taint of Nil, you plunge your hand into the chest of Merianscum, and rip out his soul. The soul stumbles back free from the body with a shocked expression barely visible on its face as the body crumbles into a puddle of ash at your feet.

This would basically be like toadcurse, except they are a soul. So, they are stopped by eye sigils, lose a small amount of experience (I think toadcurse does this?) and can be killed by skills that hit a dream body/ghost. If they get away alive without dying to kether etc., then after however long it takes their body becomes reconstructed.

I would prefer this to wrack very much so, even though it's arguably weaker. I assume it would take 5 power, but would be cooler and actually possible to get off. And eye sigils aren't THAT hard to use.

Toadcurse does not cause you to lose any experience unless you are stomped to death, and thusly die. Though chances are you'd just lich.

I was pretty sure it takes away like 5% or something small like that. In any case, if toad curse doesn't then this skill wouldn't.

If we can sacrifice the soul if it doesn't leave the room in X time periods.. I like it

Toadcurse gives you 625 endurance/willpower (it is probably more, like 25% your max) if you survive. Please toadcurse Erion, over and over.

I actually kinda like this skill... I can see multiple uses for it to outside of killing...

Having it work with sacrifice in some way or another would be cool too.

This would probably indirectly downgrade lichdom as well though, since nihilists would carry around and drop eye sigils to try and prevent the person's escape, and if they lost they wouldn't be able to run very far to lich.

And I'd STILL take it over wrack, without it working with sacrifice in any way

Toad Lich! *Croak*

Silvanus. Die.

B-b-BUMP

In the night?
