Notes

  • As of 2023-08-08, the in-game tooltip is incorrect and states this variant grants the spells granted by Deadlier than Arsenic instead.
  • Despite the tooltip claiming it inflicts 1 turn of Noxious Fumes, it actually inflicts 3 turns. Unlike the other variants of Kereska's Favour, this debuff is applied only once per spell, even if the spell is aoe or has multiple damage sources such as magic missile. Once the enemy has this debuff it cant be stacked higher or the turn timer reset until it has naturally expired.
