It is no simple feat however. In order to draw your enemies into its maw, you must ensorcell the Pit with your might which will require your concentration as you do so - you may not perform an action that uses balance or equilibrium. You will begin to automatically ensorcell the Pit upon summoning. Additionally, any Domination user that can summon the Empress may ensorcell the Pit, lessening the impact of interruption should it occur. The first time the Pit attempts to pull an enemy in, it will capture their attention. Following that, those with levitation will avoid the draw of the Pit, however the defence will be destroyed if they resist its pull. If the target is fallen upon the ground or there are at least three Domination users ensorcelling the Pit, then the levitation defence will be ignored. | |
