Hidei Magic - Coffin Nail

Type of Spell: Hidei Magic

Spell Power Ranking: B

Description: The caster wraps a personal trace from the target around a black nail, then drives it into a small wooden figure or carved block representing them. For up to 16 turns, the nail becomes a vessel for whatever part of the target it was driven through. A nail through the figure's leg can deaden that leg, one through the arm can weaken grip and casting motions, and one through the chest can heavily disrupt breathing and stamina. The caster may remove and reposition the nail at any time during the spell, changing what part is being affected. While the nail doesn't deal any actual damage to the part, it does cause the part to either stop working or, if it's a vital part, work at 50% of its intended capability.

Mana Cost: High

Limitations & Side Effects:

- Boost Limit: May boost Duration or allow one additional nail, but only one.

- Only one body section may be affected at a time unless the spell is boosted for an additional nail.

- Cannot directly stop the heart, brain, or other vital organs.

- The effect weakens if the target moves beyond 250 meters from the vessel.

- Removing or breaking the nail ends the effect tied to it.

- Destroying the vessel ends the spell completely.

Cooldown: 22 Turns

Requirements: A black nail, a small wooden vessel representing the target, and a personal trace belonging to them.
