Dominion is a blade-wielding, hound-summoning school of abilities purloined from the chivalric traditions of traditional knighthood for the use of Chaos warriors. The spread of the skill compasses taming the hounds of Lycantha, mastering the various types of bows, and an assortment of aggressive supplemental battle abilities ranging from howling or engaging an unlucky opponent and boosting one's prowess with the fury of the eldritch horror.
The skill of Dominion is available to members of the Unnamable class, although it shares most of its arts with Valour, Discipline, and Malignity skills of Paladins, Runewardens, and Infernals. Like the other warrior-classes, Unnamables train in Weaponmastery, but the eldritch skill of Anathema is unique to them.

Otherwise, you will coat all your arrows of the selected colour with the venom of your choice. Inspecting your quiver will show you how many of each colour arrow you possess and what venoms they have been covered with. Further, you may dye any number of undyed arrows the colour of your choice. However, you will find yourself unable to do so if you have arrows of that colour envenomed within your quiver. Colours you may use are red, blue, purple, green, black, white, grey, orange, gold, and silver. To switch to using a specific colour of arrow, simply SWITCH <colour>. If you wish to switch back to using undyed arrows, simply do SWITCH NORMAL. |
