You could theoretically do it 4 times in a row if you got lucky with demon shackles everytime since you could easily regenerate 2 powers before you can do the fourth torture. Not that I'm saying torture doesn't suck since most people can writhe out before getting tortured, but you can't expect all skills can be done extremely fast.

Chervil got changed, remember? Clotting will kill your mana in the long run. Lemme go look up to see how much I was bleeding from one.

Dude, 700 damage every 8 seconds is NOT gonna kill anyone. Torture is a nice skill to use in teams, or kill novices or newbies with, it's worthless in real duels, even if I get in the torture everytime before they writhe or summer/tipheret.

Thorgal points at you and shoves a hideous archdemon towards you. Wicked steel
implements appear in his claws as he jumps on you, then begins to carve deeply
and slowly into your flesh. You scream and convulse in abject agony during this
obscene torture.
2623h, 3418m, 3353e, 9p ekp-
Your muscles unlock; you are no longer paralysed.
2623h, 3418m, 3353e, 9p ekp-
You begin to struggle free of your entanglement.

2623h, 3418m, 3353e, 9p ekp-
Murphy swings a kite shield with all his might, smashing it into your head with
a resounding ring.
2623h, 3418m, 3353e, 9p ekp-
With a focused look, Murphy strikes at you with a tormented spectre flail. You
are hit on the right thigh for a minor bruise.
You shrug off the effects of the venom.
2012h, 3418m, 3353e, 9p ekp-
Fumes rise up from the tainted earth and make you cough. Ugly cankerous sores
break out on your skin, dripping with pus.
2012h, 3418m, 3353e, 9p ekp-
A hideous archdemon grabs your shoulders and gutturally whispers into your
mind. Though the language is harsh and unknown, the words twist in your brain
over and over.
With a cold smile, a hideous archdemon digs his claws into your flesh, sending
a bolt of excruciating pain through your body.
2012h, 3418m, 3353e, 10p ekp-
Bleeding wounds open up on your body, as your soul surges with holy power.
2012h, 3418m, 3353e, 10p ekp-focus spirit
You bleed 515 health.
1497h, 3418m, 3353e, 10p ekp-

925 damage on Amaru + 515 bleeding from Murphy's swing and possibly demesne. And Amaru is one tanky mofo to boot, a Mage couldn't take more than 3 of those and live.
Thorgal2005-05-06 19:39:58
Of course, that was with sensitivity, substract 33%.
Drago2005-05-07 02:32:14
Oh, and don't forget that any idiot can summer/tipharet to get out of entanglement.

I don't see why you wouldn't use clot against a Nihilist - if you die to wrack, you're not using summer/tipharet enough. If we had absolve.. then I'd understand you not wanting to clot, but ha.

On a side note is contagion bugged for non liches?
2450h, 2900m, 2150e, 10p exk-darkchant contagion

You are not in Lich form.

It should still be able to be cast outside of Lich form, yes.

Seems to me that you have to be lichform to breathe contagion, the same way you have to have the moon drawn down to moonburst, etc.

Contagion

Create a cloud of pestilent flies that will spread disease to everyone in the location except the caster. Liches are immune to a contagion cloud whatever the source.

You also left out:
