Verbal (Type)

Abilities that require an incantation to be cast. Verbals can have an immediate effect or impart a State or an Ongoing Effect. Ongoing Effects may have a duration, after which it expires. If a player would gain an Ongoing Effect they are already affected by, the Ongoing Effect’s duration will simply be adjusted to the new duration if it is longer than the current duration. An Ongoing Effect without a duration continues until it is removed by some outside force or until a condition is met. Unless otherwise noted, Ongoing Effects cannot apply when a player dies or has an ability activate which allows the player struck to avoid death (Troll Blood, Phoenix Tears, Song of Survival).
