Syntax: envenom <item>
envenom <item> [poison | disease] (if a Venomist)
With this ability, a thief is able to coat weapons with a nasty venom that
has a chance of poisoning an opponent on a successful hit, effectively
conferring the 'poison' flag to the weapon for a short period of time.
Envenom can also be used to make even the tastiest meal a deadly
trap.
The Venomist subclass may add the Poisoned flag to a weapon which already
has a weapon flag. The original flag is not affected. Other classes may
not use envenom on a weapon unless the weapon has no weapon flag or the
Changing flag, in which case the Poison flag is added. The flag shows up as
(Envenomed). You can only envenom a weapon up to your "tier level".
For example, a level 201 tier 4 cannot envenom a level 271 weapon.
A Venomist can also add 'disease' or 'poison' to the command to
temporarily set the weapon damage type.
Using a Venomist's envenom on a weapon will temporarily increase the
average damage of the weapon. Venomists using an envenomed weapon also
have chances of dealing additional poison damage; they may get an
additional hit (which does poison damage) on a backstab, and may also deal
an additional hit of poison damage when the poison flag infects a target.
As an additional bonus, if the target is immune to the thief's primary
weapon type, envenom will set the damtype of spiral to 'poison' to attempt
to get around this immunity.
