* The Demonscape: Hell itself is brought into reality, summoning forth demonic figures that will
attack and harm those that stand within.
* The Voidscape: The alien void is rife with creatures that little have heard of or even seen. They
will instill the mind with madness, causing either hallucinations or berserking.

FLING DEATH AT <player>
        SNIFF DEATH
|description = To attune Death, you must first rub it on your enemy seven times. Sniffing the card will tell you how many times you have rubbed it on your foul oppressor, while flinging it will begin the process of calling Death himself to gather the soul of your enemy to him. Be warned though that this process takes concentration and you may not do anything else while Death is on his way.
 
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 seven 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.
 
If your opponent has had their life aura leeched, you will gain three charges each time you rub
your target, instead of one.
 
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.
