(300 OM) Miasma: (Wide Proficiency, Debilitate Proficiency) In an effort to play to his strengths, Magus can tap into his power in order to manifest a thick, magical haze with several unique and dangerous properties.
First, the haze is so thick it obscures the battlefield, making it almost impossible to see more than a few feet in any direction, but it doesn't appear to impede Magus in any way.
Second, the haze is pervasive. It starts off as just minor aches and a slight feeling of exhaustion, as if the victim's simply gone too long without sleep. But the longer one spends in the Miasma, the worse the feeling gets, until quick movements or physical and mental exertion become significant chores. The aches begin to feel steadily worse, and the victim starts to feel horribly, horribly ill.
The effect doesn't cause any actual damage, but the sluggish, weak feeling can definitely be a hindrance in combat. Again, this effect seems lost on Magus, who can stand at the epicenter of the haze and experience nothing.
The haze extends in a roughly circular radius around Magus, but appears to come from nowhere as it is manifested. It can extend to a maximum of roughly 100 feet, and is dark, inky black, with tinges of purple and blue.
Casting the spell itself does not involve any gestures or verbal commands and takes approximately ten seconds to complete, but the haze itself takes roughly a minute to completely coalesce. Magus must constantly channel some effort into maintaining the Miasma, and over extended periods this may prove to be draining. Significant injury or surprise may break his concentration and diffuse the magic's effects.
Duskstrike (Ranged Proficiency): By either waving his hand or raising it against an opponent, Magus manifest and propel a ball of shadow energy which explodes on contact. The burst is not particularly powerful, but it can be amplified if Magus takes the time to draw more energy into it (up to roughly 30 seconds). (600 OM)
