The '''Apostasy''' skill teaches members of the [[Apostate]] [[:Category:Classes|class]] the art of both summoning and commanding mighty [[Baalzadeen]]s and lesser [[daemons]]. Those with the Apostasy skill also learn to use sentient [[daegger]]s. Perhaps the most feared ability of this skill is the one that allows a Baalzadeen to tear out the soul of unwilling victims.
The hallmark skill of the Apostate, Apostasy is the art and science of summoning and dealing with the mighty Baalzadeens and lesser daemons. In it, they will learn to use the sentient daeggers, form a relationship with your loving Baalzadeen, and learn to summon a variety of lesser daemons into a pentagram drawn with blood. Perhaps the most feared ability of the Apostasy skill is that which allows your Baalzadeen to tear the soul from an unwilling victim.
 
The '''Apostasy''' skill is available to members of the [[Apostate]] [[class]], along with [[Necromancy]] and [[Evileye]].
 
===[[Abilities]] in Apostasy===
{{Skill_detail
|skill=Daegger
|description=Call to your side a living, daemonic daegger to aid you.
|lessons=
|syntax=SUMMON DAEGGER<br>STAB <target>
|required=300 mana
|target=Adventurers
|cooldown=Equilibrium
|detail=The daemonic daeggers are actually living creatures; small daemons with a network of small brains geared towards making them somewhat intelligent weapons. You can quickly stab your daegger at your target even if your skill in weaponry isn't very high because the creature's eye and limited levitation abilities will help to guide your hand. If the daegger is envenomed then the target has a chance to receive the relevant venom affliction. The strength, accuracy, and to a lesser degree speed of your stabs will depend on your skill in Apostasy.

{{Skill_detail
|skill=Hunt
|description=Command your daegger to hunt your enemy.
|lessons=
|syntax=DAEGGER LEVITATE<br>DAEGGER HUNT <target>
|required=
|target=Adventurers
|cooldown=4.00 seconds of equilibrium
|detail=Your daegger has become stronger. Strong enough, in fact, that it can, with a bit of help from you, levitate itself and even fly at potentially lethal speeds towards your foe. This is superior to simply throwing the weapon because it can hook around and come at odd angles, and if it misses, it will attack again. Because you are guiding the daegger largely with the power of your mind, your intelligence, not your strength, affects the power with which it will strike your opponent. Additionally, your weaponry skill is what affects the chance of it hitting, as the daegger is putting most of its energy into the act of levitation. The higher your skill in Apostasy is, the greater the number of passes your daegger will make.

{{Skill_detail
|skill=Envenom
|description=Envenom your daegger to poison your victims.

{{Skill_detail
|skill=Pentagrams
|description=Sketch an infernal pentagram, in blood.
|lessons=
|syntax=CARVE PENTAGRAM<br>DISPEL PENTAGRAM
|required=0.25% life essence
|target=Room
|cooldown=1.00 seconds of balance
|detail=At a small life essence cost (if you do not have the essence skill in necromancy then telling just how much you have and how much you are using will be difficult) you can infuse your blood with a greater power. Then, taking your daegger, you make a small puncture in your hand, and carve an infernal pentagram onto the ground with your own steaming blood. There can be only one pentagram on the ground in a room at a given time, and you can only use a pentagram drawn in your own blood, infused with the life essence of others, as it may be. From here, a variety of other abilities may be used.

|detail=The Baalzadeen is the primary daemon of the apostasy skill.
