|skill = Reinforce
|description = Find succour in stone
|syntax = DIRGE REINFORCE [target]
|detail = Fervour cost: 150
The Earthen cannot falter, for in failure lies the doom of worlds. Should you or another be injured
in glorious battle, you may call upon the earth for succour and healing. As your skill in
Apocalyptia rises, the earth's grace will become stronger, and will heal a random affliction as
well if the target is not yourself.
If your patient is a fellow Earthcaller, their wounds will close more quickly. Healing will have no
effect upon the foul Duamvi, and be lessened against any who do not share your Tether.

|detail = Fervour cost: 100
Azvosh eternal and brutality incarnate. By cleaving t'ward this fundamental truth, the Dirge shall

|syntax = DIRGE VERSE OF PROVIDENCE
|detail = Fervour cost: 1500
Those who keep faith in the earth shall suffer neither hunger nor thirst, for the bounty of Azvosh
will provide for its own. With a bowl in your possession, invoking this verse of the Dirge will
fill it with bone broth and you will know great sustenance. The earth does not surrender its gifts
frivolously, however, and you may not request sustenance again without first showing patience.

|detail = Fervour cost: 200
The Earthen are the people of war, and by invoking the memories of ancient battles, the Dirge shall
bestow a glimpse of true glory upon yourself or your target. Willpower and endurance shall be
restored, so potent is the euphoric revelry.
The effects will fade after a certain amount of time, or until the target is attacked.

|detail = Fervour cost: 500 to create the verse, 750 for the act of travel
When the drums of war sound across the great expanse, none can resist the call to battle. Bring
forth this verse within a location and, should you find yourself separated from the soldiers of
your mighty warband, you may travel to any who stand within it.

{{Skill_detail
|skill = Wardance
|description = In remembrance of the Great Father's conquest of old
|syntax = DIRGE WARDANCE
|detail = Mightiest of all the Gods, the Great Father did bring conquest to the ancient foes of old

|detail = Fervour cost: 900
To be one with the earth is to enjoy strength unconquerable, and by drawing upon your unshakeable

a true bulwark of stone and sand. To release the anchor you must call upon this verse a second time,
and the earth shall set you free.

{{Anchor|Reckoning}}
{{Skill_detail
|skill = Reckoning
|description = And it will be the End
|syntax = DIRGE RECKONING <target>
|detail = Fervour cost: 600
Open the mind of your accursed foe, that they may look upon the unknowable empty and be granted a
vision of the fate that awaits should you fail your duty. The weak cannot withstand prolonged
exposure, and they will be struck down with debilitating maladies.
Afflictions include: vomiting, dizziness, epilepsy, confusion, slickness, hallucinations, stupidity,
and vertigo.

|syntax = DIRGE HYSTERIA <target>
|detail = Fervour cost: 250

|syntax = DIRGE VERSE OF ENERVATION
|detail = Fervour cost: 600
The strength of the Sorcerer Kings must be kept sapped to slake the thirst of ages. By wielding a

they taste but a sample of the earth's vengeance.

|syntax = DIRGE CONSTITUTION

The earth must be fed, for it is a vast and hungry beast, pitiless and cold. While this verse

revival. None are exempt from the blood price, and the earth will feast indiscriminately, even on
one of its own.

The chance that this will occur varies:
Chance    Requirement
========================================
20%      - If you have broken your vigil and fled the scene of their incarceration.
60%      - If you stand present and command a corporeal form.
80%      - If your foe suffers from six or more afflictions and you stand before them whole.
