This skill is a curse; it inflicts victims with much slower foot speed and deals damage as well. It's highly useful in the [[Arena]] PvP.
The This [[skill ]] is powerful, but has a very small radius of effect. Possibly this can be increased with a [[runestone]]. As it is, GotD requires precise aim and timing to hit a moving target.

A powerful debuff. This curses the target with much reduced movement speed and deals damage as well.

The visual is creepy, putting what looks like brown worms that are constantly wriggling in and out of the victim.
::A very powerful curse, this one greatly slowed the enemy, as well as afflicting them with a sort of worming, brown, burning graphic. It’s actively unpleasant to see this on your character; you actually feel like they’re being eaten alive. And you can’t even run from it properly, in your slow motion cursed state. Hard to hit a moving target with this one since the radius of effect was very small, but hugely useful if you managed it.
