Dark Fool

Dark Fool
Realm	Tuatha Dé Danann
Archetype	Support
Motto	There is no fool like a dark fool.

Dark Fools use the power of their reed pipes to confuse, mislead, and attack their enemies. They are true tricksters, using a combination of sound and magic to create illusions, deceptions, and inspiring melodies to encourage members of their Realm. Their pranks and practical jokes have a very dark side, and their mind-affecting powers make the Dark Fools feared across the world.

Sample Components

	Deceptive Siphon (Song) Drains health from nearby enemies with more total remaining health than the user and distributes it between the user and their nearby group members.

Mischievous Haste (Song) Provides an aura that gradually increases in power up to a maximum amount. The aura increases the movement speed of the player and nearby allies in their group. On reaching its maximum power, the aura also grants a mind buff that removes the aura effect and reduces blood and stamina costs for a brief duration after the next ability activation. Damage taken from all sources while under the effect of this aura is greatly increased.

	Expulsive Laugh (Shout) Purges a high amount of power from a physical buff from each nearby enemy and increases the panic rating of targets affected.

	Trick of Blood (Shout) Grants the user’s group members a death buff that increases damage against bleeding targets. This effect also restores blood to the user when dealing damage to bleeding enemies.

Key Features

Divine Intervention

Soothing Song
Drains remaining blood from the user to provide an aura that grants immunity to panic-increasing effects and suppression of shadow and chaos effects to the user and their nearby group members.

Death Curse

Terrifying Surprise
A large, ominously laughing shadow emerges from the user’s corpse and applies a shadow debuff over a large area that greatly reduces the movement speed and increases ability preparation and recovery times of enemies who have reached their maximum panic rating.
