== Damage Effects ==

If a call is used and the target doesn’t take the call and doesn’t explicitly stop it affecting them then you don’t spend the Vigour or Focus used to generate the effect

===== Crush =====

If the character is in heavy armour, they take damage equal to hit points and enter critical state. If they aren't in heavy armour it does 1 point of damage.''' This call must hit target unless delivered by a ranged spell'''

===== Stun =====

The character is unable to defend themselves ('''''Shields must fall to the side of the body'''''), attack or cast spells for 10 seconds. They may move at a walking pace.''' This call must hit target unless delivered by a ranged spell'''

===== Petrify =====

The character is totally unable to move for 10 seconds. The character can still speak but cannot cast spells. '''This call must hit target unless delivered by a ranged spell'''

===== Ensnare =====

The character is unable to move their legs for 10 seconds. '''This call may hit the Shield or the target unless delivered by a ranged spell'''

===== Rend =====

The character takes damage equal to their hit points and begins their death count and enters a critical state unless they are wearing heavy armour in which it does 1 point of damage. '''''Note: '''''''All Arrows and Bolts in Menhirs Fate do Rend damage. '''''This call must hit target unless delivered by a ranged spell'''

===== Burning Taunt =====

Anger rages through the target, They will charge and attack the caster if possible. If not then the closest hostile target available. This call must hit target unless delivered by a ranged spell<br />
'''You must continue to fight and roleplay safely while under the effects of Taunt.'''

===== Stagger =====

If this hits a character they are thrown away from the user of the attack 3 large steps even if you parry it. A character may choose to roleplay more than this effect if they wish. <br />
'''This call may hit the Shield or the target unless delivered by a ranged spell'''

===== Smite =====

If this hits the target (not the shield) then they lose all hits points and enter a critical state. <br />
''This will only work on a target with a Corrupted spirit''<br />
''''' ''This call must hit the target unless delivered by a ranged spell'''

===== Obliterate =====

If your character is hit by this, they immediately die with no death count and with no critical state or terminal state. This is a very rare call. '''This call must hit the target unless delivered by a ranged effect. '''<br />
'''This call cannot be mitigated by Rebound, Resist or Blocking. If it makes contact then the effect happens.'''''This call may be gained through very powerful weavings against named foes and may on a rare occasion happen elsewhere in game for exceptional circumstances but it is a very rare call. The path to achieving it will not be a simple one.''

===== Blight =====

If this hits the target (not the shield) then they lose all hits points and enters a critical state. <br />
''This will only work on a  target with a Healthy spirit ''''' '''<br />
'''This call must hit the target unless delivered by a ranged spell. This is an NPC call only.'''

===== Poison =====

Upon drinking or being hit you have the number of minutes in the call to find an antidote, with a default of 30. If after this time you have not received an antidote, you will enter your terminal state skipping the critical state. Normal healing will not remove the poison effect, although it can heal any other injuries you may have sustained while being attacked.  <br />
The Advanced Physician skill allows you to spend 30 seconds to reset the duration of the poison call. <br />
The standard time is 30 minutes and thus the call for it will be '''''POISON 30'''''.  Any other variation on this call will represent the time duration you have to take an antidote. E.g Poison 10 means you have ten minutes, Poison 1 means you have one minute, etc. <br />
'''This call must hit target''' '''unless delivered by a ranged effect'''

===== Shatter =====

At the beginning of the spell the caster either allocates an item if using as a ranged spell or hits an item that falls into the following categories (Dagger, One handed Weapon, Foci, Relic, Shield). The item is destroyed until it is mended. If you attempt to block or parry with a destroyed weapon or shield then you take the effects as if it had hit you. Shattered items may be sheathed or put away and do not have to be dropped to protect players and physreps.

===== Resist =====

A character calling this is completely unaffected by the effect and has resisted it.

== Other Game Effects ==

===== Antidote =====

Cures all poison on the character as well as the Fixation effect.

===== Fixation =====

The roleplay effect may be addictive, making the character feel a strong urge to experience it again from the same origin. ''*A player may choose to ignore this effect if they feel uncomfortable with this roleplay*''

===== Drain =====

The character loses all of the attributes that are stated after drain [Vigor/Focus/Faith etc]. The character is unable to regain that attribute for 5 mins. ''*The call of drain focus will remove all of someones focus which they cannot regain for 5 minutes*''

===== Rebound =====

If a person responds to an effect with this call, the effect instead is redirected to the caster/user. This will protect the user  from an effect delivered by a mass call but no one else from the mass call. Rebound does not work on called generated via Ranged Weapons or Thrown Weapons.

===== Overload =====

 wp:paragraph {"style":{"elements":{"link":{"color":{"text":"var:preset|color|ast-global-color-0"}}}}}

Any weaver struck by this call will immediately''' '''take damage equal to their hit points (including any hit points gained though armour or effects) and enter a [[Combat Rules#Critical_state|critical state]]. Please note that each weaver also will also roleplay this differently depending on the sphere they are aligned to. These effects are listed on the relevant rites page

===== Curse =====

 wp:paragraph {"style":{"elements":{"link":{"color":{"text":"var:preset|color|ast-global-color-0"}}}}}

The target of the curse call cannot use any call that they have received from a Rite, nor receive any magical healing from any source, nor use any call that requires Focus, Vigor or perform a Rite for 5 mins.

===== Regeneration =====

 wp:paragraph {"style":{"elements":{"link":{"color":{"text":"var:preset|color|ast-global-color-0"}}}}}

A player may stand back up and loudly call ‘Regeneration’ to restore three hit point and thus leave their [[Combat Rules#Critical_state|critical state]]. This is not subtle and should be done within a couple of seconds of the final blow.<br />
A player may also loudly call "Regeneration" to restore themselves to their base three hit points. Hits are global regardless of source so this ability may only ever restore you to those base three hits. This is not subtle.

===== I’ve seen Worse =====

 wp:paragraph {"style":{"elements":{"link":{"color":{"text":"var:preset|color|ast-global-color-0"}}}}}

This allows a character to spend one vigour to use the call “I've seen worse” with 10 seconds roleplay to restore one other character from [[Combat Rules#Critical_state|critical state]] to three hit points. This can only be done onto someone else and cannot be done to yourself

===== Execute =====

Any character may spend 5 seconds roleplaying a huge swing or specific attack in a safe and controlled manner on a character that is in a Critical or Terminal state, and shout the call 'Execute'. This will immediately kill the target. ''Please avoid head hits, vulnerable parts and throat slitting as part of execute for safety reasons''

===== Heal Wounds =====

For every 10 seconds the character has contact to the target and maintains constant vocal’s they heal 1 point of damage to the target. This does not work on a character in active combat. ''The emphasis is on the target to count the amount of healing received.''

===== Mend =====

The spell fixes an item that has been''' '''destroyed.

===== [XXX] Blast =====

The caster selects a target and does one point of damage of the element specified to the target. For example Fire Blast

===== Shielding =====

For the duration of the spell you are immune to uncalled melee damage – you still take thrown, arrows and calls. You cannot attack others during this spell. ''*During the spell to demonstrate the spell the caster must have their free hand open in front of them*. ''

===== Counter Spell =====

This spell stops a spell or Cantrip effect immediately. You CANNOT Counter this spell.

===== Refuge =====

The target's critical state count pauses for as long as the ceremony chant continues. If the target is under the effects of any other effect (poison/curse etc) the effect is paused but will return at the end of the Ceremony. If this effect is on you from anywhere different to a ceremony you will be informed of the duration.

===== Full Heal =====

Restores all hits to the target. ''' '''

===== Mass =====

The effect hits all targets within 5 metres.
