Moon Bestow the maladies of the moon upon your enemy
Syntax: FLING MOON [affliction] AT <player>
Required:
Channels: {{{channels}}}
Shapes: {{{shapes}}}
Transitions: {{{transitions}}}
Attacks: {{{attacks}}}
Works against: Players only
Cooldown:
Attune Effect: {{{attune}}}
Symbol: {{{symbol}}}

choose the affliction it gives, if you so wish, otherwise a random affliction will be selected.

You can deliver one of the following afflictions with the Moon: Stupidity, confusion, recklessness, impatience, epilepsy, berserking, weariness, and anorexia.

Required:
Channels: {{{channels}}}
Shapes: {{{shapes}}}
Transitions: {{{transitions}}}
Attacks: {{{attacks}}}
Works against: Players only
Cooldown:
Attune Effect: {{{attune}}}
Symbol: {{{symbol}}}
Details: The Death tarot is not a card to be trifled with, bringing about a swift end to anyone

who tries to oppose it once flung. There is nought that can stop the figure of Death once summoned, although some claim the dreamworld has some effect.

In order to fling Death at your opponent, you must first attune the Death card to their body and soul. This is achieved by rubbing it upon your enemy five times. Once it is fully attuned, simply fling it at your opponent and wait for his arrival. You may not perform any actions during this process and will be unable to dodge or divert any attacks aimed at you.

In order to see how many rubs you have accumulated, you can sniff a card of Death to see. Rubs will last for multiple weeks at a time, and aren't attached to any one card. Do note however, a combat arena will have a adverse effect on the Death card, and any rubs gained will not transfer between it and Sapience. Neither will they last as long.
