Preparation

1.5 seconds

Application delay

The seed is placed when preparation finishes and opens after 3 seconds.

Effect duration

The seed opens after 3 seconds, followed by ordinary poison rules.

Cooldown

18 seconds

Shared recovery

1 second

Preparation, effect duration and cooldown are separate timers. The cooldown starts when preparation completes successfully. You can move during shared recovery, but cannot prepare another spell.

Target and range

An enemy within 8 tiles.

What does it do?

Preparation places a visible seed on the target. After 3 seconds it opens at the target's current position, poisoning the target and valid enemies within one tile. Poison strength follows Spirit Speak tiers.

Spirit Speak 0 → 100

0–39.9: Lesser Poison in PvP/PvE. 40–79.9: Regular Poison in PvP/PvE. 80–89.9: Greater Poison in PvP/PvE. 90–100: Greater Poison in PvP and Deadly Poison in PvE.

Counterplay

A successfully completed Cure or Exorcism removes the unopened seed. After it opens, the poison follows normal Cure rules. Poison immunity remains effective; Resisting Spells does not shorten the 3-second warning.

Limits

The seeded target is considered first. Mixed groups can poison up to 3 PvP and 5 PvE targets separately; player-controlled pets count toward the PvP cap. Stronger existing poison is not replaced by weaker poison, and that target does not consume a successful new-poison place. The seed disappears if its carrier dies. Poison does not create new seeds. The same curse does not stack or refresh its active duration. Ordinary poison tick timing, damage and total lifetime follow existing poison rules.

Things to consider
