In a quest for twisted perfection does the Unnamable strive, ever forward with regard for neither the self nor the world they seek to defile. Melding [[karma]] and self-imposed desolation to birth something new, the [[chaos|chaotic]] warriors of [[Ashtan]] revel in their dire work. For the Unnamable is a thing of nightmare, and where it walks so too does terror follow.

The skill of '''Anathema''' is available to members of the Unnamable [[class]], along with [[Weaponmastery]] and [[Dominion]].


==Abilities in Anathema==
{{Skill_detail
|skill=Connection
|description=The fundamental which underpins.
|lessons=
|syntax=KARMA<br>KARMA DRAW
|required=
|target=
|cooldown=
|detail=Each Unnamable requires vast amounts of karma to facilitate their works, and the Living Book of Eschaton is the greatest repository of karma there is. Those citizens of Ashtan who undertake this path may seek it out, and TOUCH it to begin the process.<br>
Once a connection is established, the student of Anathema may DRAW upon the connection when in the Eschaton's presence, restoring some of their karmic reserves. Note however, this process is painful, and doing so in excess may have consequences.

{{Skill_detail
|skill=Manifestation
|description=Ever closer to transcendence.
|lessons=
|syntax=None
|required=
|target=
|cooldown=1.50 seconds of balance
|detail=The Unnamables were forged as warriors by the Occultists of Ashtan, and are well prepared for the wielding of karma. However, ritual preparation and martial training cannot replace a life spent in study, and an Unnamable lacks the delicate control that these scholars of Chaos enjoy. Though a weakness, the Unnamables have made this also their strength.</p>
Though drawing karma through your body will ravage your mind and flesh, even as the Unnamable grows more overcome he shall force his body to strive ever closer to transcendence. Flesh shall warp and mutate, bones shall twist and grow, and by a battle's culmination the Unnamable shall be closer to its namesake than ever before(*).
* As you become more warped by chaotic energy, you will mutate a random manifestation of the Unnamable. See the relevant ability files for details. You cannot control which manifestation you receive.

|description=Bile and blood shall burn as flame.
|lessons=
|syntax=None
|required=
|target=

|detail=This manifestation causes vile tumors to form across the Unnamable's body. When struck with sufficient force, these shall rupture, showering your attacker with burning blood and bile.
}}
 
{{Skill_detail
|skill=Tongues
|description=Tendrils to grasp and rend.
|lessons=
|syntax=None
|required=
|target=
|cooldown=5.00 seconds of anathema balance

{{Skill_detail
|skill=Venomsacks
|description=Payback never tasted so vile.
|lessons=
|syntax=None
|required=
|target=
|cooldown=
|detail=Once you develop venomsacks in your mouth, they will draw small amounts of venom from your bloodstream when you are hit with them. While this is not enough to reduce the effect of the venom upon your person, when your venomsacks become full you will spit the delightful concoction directly into your attackers face, and give them a taste of their own medicine.
* Every five venoms, you will spit one of said venoms back at the last person to deliver you one. The venom delivered from the list is random and resolves after your attacker's attack is fully complete (providing you are still alive).
** You have a 66% chance to absorb part of the venom on the hit.</p>

|detail=You may radiate the terrible presence of the Unnamable, a terror so profound that it shall inspire fear in any mortal not warded against its threat in some form(*).
* Citizens of Ashtan are immune outside the arena unless they are one of your personal enemies.
** Gives the fear affliction. If it hits someone who already has fear, forces a fear tick on that person.
*** While you are suffused with this presence, any manaleech affliction you inflict upon someone shall also ravage their body.
}}
 
{{Skill_detail
|skill=Horror
|description=The primordial dread.
|lessons=
|syntax=UNNAMABLE HORROR <target>

|target=
|cooldown=3.50 seconds of anathema balance
|detail=Reveal one of the mysteries of the outer spheres to a victim, instilling a horror in them that shall only grow(*).

}}
 
{{Skill_detail
|skill=Devour
|description=Until the last.
|lessons=
|syntax=UNNAMABLE DEVOUR
|required=4% karma
|target=
|cooldown=5.00 seconds of anathema balance
|detail=As you grow closer to the transcendent being, so too does your hunger grow. Once you are sufficiently mutated and focussed on devouring all you are able, anytime someone dies in your location you will consume their corpse for a burst of health, if another does not get there first...
* You require tentacles and mouths mutated as well as this defence active to do this.
** This can push you above your maximum health to a point.

|skill=Frenzy

|lessons=
|syntax=UNNAMABLE FRENZY
|required=8% karma
|target=
|cooldown=5.00 seconds of anathema balance
|detail=Unleash ruin upon Creation, and sweep aside all that would stand before you. The wrath of Chaos unleashed is a terrible thing to behold, and while consumed by your frenzy you shall strike faster with both body and mind the more wounded you become. However, take note: Chaos suffers no lesser working when unleashed in this way. No trinkets or potions shall
reverse the damage inflicted in this state of transcendent might.
* The lower your health is, the faster your balance and equilibrium recovery will be. However, you cannot heal your health or mana by any means while suffused by the hunger to destroy.
** This ability may only be called upon every so often, and requires you be at a state of 100% manifestation to unleash it (a state which is out of reach under normal conditions, though it is said true master's of anathema may be able to reach it in particular circumstances).
}}
