Edit

Vulnerability

Vulnerability is a hex Spell that curses all targets in an area, making them take increased physical damage and granting hits dealt on the cursed targets a chance to apply bleed. Ailments applied to cursed targets will deal its damage faster.

Skill functions and interactions

Cursed enemies take increased damage: Because these modifiers are an increase to the target's damage taken, they are multiplicative with attacker's damage dealt and additive with any other effects to damage taken on the defender.
Vulnerability can be turned into an aura by linking it with either Blasphemy Support or Awakened Blasphemy Support.
