Name	Description	Cooldown
Blood Pact	Assimilate the contracted demon after casting for 0.3s, and transform into a demon form (total transformation animation of about 3s). While in this form, gain an additional 50 Max Health Add (following the normal rules for temporary max health), 50 Armor Rating, and 50 Magical Resistance. Your entire body is covered in Abyssal Flame, taking No tag found for "PercentMaxHealthHealing", please correct it damage per second and dealing 2 Fire Magical Base Damage (25% Scaling) per second in 0.2s ticks to characters within 0.5m. You can move during the cast and transformation animations, but once started you can't use skills, spells, interact with objects, or cancel the transformation. Additionally, all Darkness Shards are consumed on cast completion, and you gain 1 All Attributes for each Darkness Shard consumed. When you become a demon, your skills change to demon-only skills: Unbind and Exploitation Strike. Your unarmed attacks also change (see Details below). Needs further testing! Unknown if Silence can cancel the cast. Contribute by joining the Spells & Guns discord! Blood Pact Details Left-click: Same action as out of Blood Pact, except if the action would be an unarmed attack, instead performs up to 4 combo attacks using both hands. Right-click: Same action as out of Blood Pact, except if no items held in either hand, casts Bolt of Darkness.	0.2s
Unbind	Only available while Blood Pact is active, replacing the Blood Pact skill. Return to your true self, reverting the Pact's effects on you (aside from health lost to Abyssal Flame and Shadow Shards consumed) including the buff from Exploitation Strike (the max health loss follows the normal rules for temporary max health). Once started, you can move but the cast cannot be cancelled. Needs further testing! Unknown if Silence can cancel the cast. Contribute by joining the Spells & Guns discord!	-
Exploitation Strike	Only available while Blood Pact is active, replacing the non-Blood Pact skill. Deal an additional 4 Evil Magical Base Damage (100% Scaling) over 4s to all enemies you hit with a physical attack within 6s and heals the caster by 5% of the target's maximum health, up to 20 per hit. Buff is immediately removed when Unbind cast finishes.	28s
Blow of Corruption	Your next physical attack within 8s deals 12 Evil Magical Base Damage (100% Scaling) to the target and causes them to suffer -80% Incoming Physical Healing Mod and -80% Incoming Magical Healing Mod for 12s. Hitting an obstacle or a shield with the blade (not the hilt) counts as the next attack and will waste the effect.	24s
Dark Offering	Channel your mind for up to 10s, sacrificing -10% Percent Max Health Healing per 1s to gain 5% Physical Power Bonus and 5% Magical Power Bonus per stack, up to 10 stacks. This bonus lasts for 15s. All stacks are refreshed upon gaining a new stack.	28s

During this period you can only move and do not collide with other players or monsters, but are still vulnerable to AoE damage. While active, you will still take damage from active spike traps, but you will not trigger inactive ones. If Phantomize ends while standing on an inactive trap, you will continue to not activate it until you step off it or something else activates it. Needs further testing! Does the Spike Trap trick work on Hunting Traps? Contribute by joining the Spells & Guns discord!	28s
Spell Memory	Gain the ability to memorize spells to use in the dungeon.	-
Spell Memory II	Gain the ability to memorize additional spells to use in the dungeon.	-

The order in which you select spells will determine their Spell Memory priority. You can right click spells to "forget" them, and you must drag and drop a spell to memorize it. Spell tiers determine their spell memory cost.

Name	Description	Tier	Casting Time	Health Cost
Power of Sacrifice	Curse the target, dealing 3 Curse Magical Base Damage (0% Scaling) per second while granting them 15 Strength and 15 Vigor for 12s. Self cast if no target is found. This counts as a Debuff, not a Buff, and thus it is not affected by Spell Predation.	1	1s	4
Curse of Weakness	Curse the target, causing them to suffer -25% All Attributes Bonus for 12s.	1	1s	4
Bolt of Darkness	Fires a bolt that deals 20 Dark Magical Base Damage (100% Scaling) to the target. The bolt can be shot down by other projectiles, detonating it early. Projectile Speed: 16m/s	1	1s	4

Bloodstained Blade	Target gains 5 Physical Buff Weapon Damage for 20s. When the target swings their weapon, they take 3 Evil Magical Base Damage (0% Scaling). Self cast if no target is found. This counts as a Debuff, not a Buff, and thus it is not affected by Spell Predation.	2	0.75s	4
Spell Predation	Consume all removable magical Buffs on the enemy and gain 1 Darkness Shard per status. Darkness Shards Each Darkness Shard grants a 33% Dark Power Bonus and can store up to 3. This effect is consumed when casting a dark spell.	3	1s	4
Ray of Darkness	Channel a dark beam for up to 5s, dealing 12 Dark Magical Base Damage (100% Scaling) per second in .1s ticks to any target the beam touches. Moving and aiming are possible while channeling. The beam stops upon hitting a target or object, and so will only hit one target at a time.	4	1s	5
Life Drain	Channel for up to 7.5s, dealing 5 Evil Magical Base Damage (25% Scaling) to the target per 1s. Convert 100% of the damage dealt into health for the caster.	4	1.5s	5
Hellfire	Create eternal hellfire and blasts it towards the target. Deals 60 Fire Magical Base Damage (50% Scaling) per second in 0.2s ticks with 12 Impact Power to any target within the area of effect. The hellfire does not dissipate when it reaches a target and can travel through walls.	4	2s	6
Flame Walker	While active, gain the ability to leave a trail of Hellfire for 6s. Each step leaves a trails that lasts 4 seconds. Targets that enter the flame area will burn, taking 5 Fire Magical Base Damage (100% Scaling) per 0.2s per stack. (max 2 stacks) The caster is not affected by the burn and can freely walk over the flame area without taking damage from it. Needs further testing! Seems to output considerably more than more than 5dps, but less than 25dps Contribute by joining the Spells & Guns discord!	5	1.25s	6
Eldritch Shield	Grants the target a 25 Magical Base Shield (0% Scaling) for 15s. When the shield absorbs its maximum damage, gain 20% Dark Power Bonus towards the next dark spell cast within 4s. This works with Spell Predation, however it also consumes Darkness Shards - even when the shield's Scaling is 0 and thus does not benefit from the power bonus - so the maximum number of Shards obtainable at any point by rotating this and Spell Predation is 1.	5	0.75s	6
Summon Hydra	Summon a Hydra, which inhabits a 0.75m area, that spits fireballs dealing 10 Dark Magical Base Damage (100% Scaling) with 4 Impact Power to enemy targets for 10 seconds. The Hydra can also detects hidden targets. The Hydra has 150 health and can aggro Monsters. It cannot move from its summon location but can turn freely. Summoning a Hydra while another is still alive kills the old Hydra. Unlike most spells, attempting to cast this spell without a valid target does not incur the health cost.	6	1s	12

- Warlocks don't rely on spell counts and instead cast spells by paying a fixed amount of health depending on the spell. Health management will play a bigger role for this class than for others.

- Any health spent to cast spells will leave behind Recoverable Health, allowing for restoration via Resting, Bandages, or a friendly Bard.

- Torture Mastery will heal you when dealing damage with Curse of Pain and Power of Sacrifice, and will benefit from Magical Healing on your gear.

- Power of Sacrifice can be used as a party buff or as a damage-dealer. Be wary that granting enemies additional Strength will give them more max HP as well, mitigating some damage dealt.

- Blow of Corruption is very powerful in both PvP and PvE. In PvP, it can be used to prevent enemies from burst-healing.

- Phantomize will protect you from most sources of damage, however active floor spikes, AoE spells (Holy Strike, Fireball, Lightning Strike), Zombie poison clouds, and any linger DoTs will still hurt you.

- If Hellfire is cast again whilst the Warlock's first Hellfire effect is still active, the first Hellfire will be deleted after the second one has finished casting.
