The Cruciatus Curse [Crucio]
Cost: 300
Requires: Ranged Proficiency, Debuff Proficiency
Like most Dark Magic, this spell requires equally dark emotions to power it. With a relatively low charge time of a second, this spell is a faint, translucent bolt of white or red lightning. Unlike most spells however, it requires the caster maintain the spell for as long as they desire to inflict debilitating pain on the target, and their wand must remain aimed at the target at all times. Those with equal or greater DEF to the spell's ATK have the potential to resist the paralysis enough to act via the shortening the time it may be effectively used equal and up to double the DEF of the spell's ATK for only split seconds of effect at best. Conversely the opposite is true of those of lower DEF.

May be cast once a second, and has baseline duration of up to ten seconds that it can be maintained.
