How to learn

Other ways to learn:

• This spell can only be learned as the Dark Urge after slaying  Orin and accepting ⁠Bhaal's gift.

Notes

• After using this spell on a creature, it is removed from the player character's common actions and cannot be used again.
  • The spell is not removed if it is cast on the caster themselves and the caster actually dies from it.
• The spell can be cast on two targets simultaneously through the use of  Twinned Spell or  Split Enchantment.
  • Using either of these features to target the caster along with another creature allows the spell to be used repeatedly.
•  Sarevok casts this on  Dolor if the player character convinces Dolor to take up arms against the Murder Tribunal.
