- Affliction Buff/Calling/Summoning
- Anti-Regeneration Buff/Summoning
- Healing Decreasing/Delay/Reduction/Weakening
- Regeneration Decreasing/Delay/Weakening
Capabilities[]
The user can, through various means, reduce a target's regenerative/healing process and/or healing powers. This often comes in the form of inducing lethal degrading affects upon oneself or others, dolling out disruptive counter effects that invert and hasten counterproductive recovery abilities. This renders any attempt at physiological reparation more caustic than helpful to the afflicted.
