Turn explored places of power into lasting Witchcraft damage

Astral Communion activates dormant magic at places of power in human form. It does not occupy a common Active Abilities slot, so keep your combat abilities equipped while using it to explore.

Each exorcised place contributes 0.4% permanent Witchcraft Ability Damage at rank 1, rising to 0.8%, 1.2% and 1.6% at later ranks. The rank replaces the earlier coefficient. For example, ten exorcised places correspond to 4% at rank 1 or 16% at rank 4, rather than adding all four rank values together.

The three upgrades cost one skill point each and no time segments; no manual is required. Their value grows with the number of places you have exorcised, making exploration and further ranks complementary choices.
