Soul Ascension

This page is about content exclusive to Honour mode.

Soul Ascension is a level 6 evocation spell. It is available to Raphael while he is in his  Ascended Fiend form. It creates an area that, while inside, lets his cambions deal Hellfire damage, and causes Necrotic damage to enemies. It cannot be learned by party members.

Description

Create a column of writhing souls that transforms allied Cambions into  Hellfire Cambions and deals 6d10⁠⁠Necrotic to any non-fiend caught inside.

Cambions ascended by this cascade deal Hellfire damage, which ignores Resistance and Immunity to Fire damage.

How to learn

•  Legendary Action: Soul Ascension

Used by creatures: Raphael

Notes

• Raphael casts this spell as a reaction to being attacked (no matter if it is a melee attack, ranged attack, or a spell), but it does not consume his  Reaction. Instead, it costs him 1 charge of  Legendary Action: Soul Ascension.
• Raphael only casts this spell if the attacker doesn't already stand in the Writhing Souls area created by the previous cast of this spell.
• Every time Raphael recasts this spell, the previous area of Writhing Souls is removed.

Bugs

•  Silence does not prevent Raphael from casting this spell despite technically requiring a verbal component.
