Wretched Vapors

Range

Duration

Crack open a vial to release an ethereal vapor onto yourself or an ally that causes a rush, then a crash.

Specter Rush: While it lasts, increases the speed of all actions and temporarily numbs all incoming damage creating looming specters.

Specter Crash: When the vapors wear off, all actions are slower and any remaining specters deal their delayed damage plus extra damage.

Incoming healing will prioritize removing specters first, preventing them from dealing damage.

Load your weapon with a full clip of syringes that Heal allies. Dealing damage recovers charges, and each leech you have collected slowly restores them.

Open your bag and reveal the horrors you carry inside, dealing Spirit DPS to enemies in front of you. Enemies looking at you build up terror and cannot use stamina or movement abilities. At max terror, they flee in fear away from you.

Each leech you have collected adds fear duration.

Enemies facing away from you take 50% damage unless feared.

Case history

Nurse Harrow lore

A respected pillar at the Marble Hill Possession Ward, Nurse Harrow has dedicated her life to combating the horrors of supernatural possession. A blend of care, severity, and detached pragmatism; Harrow has been called a saint by some of her patients, and a cruel governess by others. Both are probably true.

But while any sane person would question how and why Harrow keeps the pain of her patients stored in her medical bag, none can question the results of her treatment program... cruel though it may be.
