Heart Attack
[ a great Assassination-type spell ]
Drain Fatigue 100 points / X+1 sec
Damage Fatigue 100 points / X sec
Drain Health 100 points / Z+1 sec
Damage Health Y points / Z sec
(yes most of the numbers are variables. in the original version i made, X=3, Y=23, and Z=9)
This spell is just fun to use. Assuming the variables are filled with the numbers in the parentheses above and a character who is a Master of Destruction, the 'on Touch' version of the spell will cost about 290, while the 'on Target' version will cost about 440.
It will take some testing to get the amounts right for you. I am able to cast on a Bandit and run backwards. At first he will spin around like nothing happened and start running after me. Then all of a sudden his body will go limp and plummet forward smashing face-first into the ground, and then he may slide several feet due to the momentum. After a second, he will start to stir, struggle to his hands and knees, and while pushing off the ground in a attempt to get back to his feet, the Heart Attack will bring death, and he will fall forehead-first back to the ground again, his corpse positioned like ^ on the ground.
This spell varies in effectiveness and style depending on your level and what enemy you face. You can easily make a version to kill most everything you face, but the fun for me was making the Fatigue and Damage durations just right so that they would fall and then struggle to get up before collapsing in death. Of course to set that up takes a bit of tweaking and testing. For example with Town Guards, I had to strengthen the spell by raising X = 4, and increasing Y = 36.
It is just a fun spell, and come to think of it, it would be great assassination-type spell for sneaky murdering characters that want to use something other than dagger and arrow methods.
