Changes: Death Syphon (Origins)

Revision as of 08:20, 4 May 2020

For the spells in other games, see Death Syphon (Dragon Age II) and Death Siphon.

Death Syphon is a mage spell from the Spirit tree in Dragon Age: Origins.

Information

Area of effect: 5m sphere.
Mana absorption (per corpse, once every interval if a corpse is within range): 8.0 + Spellpower * 0.08.
Interval(s): 2.0.
Conjuration time: 1s.

Notes

Upkeep is in mana.
Arcane Warrior spellcasting: the spell can be cast with your weapon(s) drawn.
Only one corpse can be absorbed per interval.
It may be required to move away from a corpse and then reapproach it with the aura in order to actually consume it. Generally this occurs only if the spell was initially activated while within range of the corpses.
Can be activated without the mana for upkeep, and then generate mana from corpses that were slain prior to activation.
Death Syphon and Death Magic sustainables are mutually exclusive.
The amount of mana restored is determined when the mage casts the spell; changing equipment while the spell is active does not change the amount of mana restored.
