How to learn Soul Stigma
The following manual supplies the book unlock for ranks marked “Manual unlock” in the rank table. Skill points and time are spent when you purchase the rank. See the skill book guide for manual requirements and planning examples.
A timed critical bonus with a health cost
Soul Stigma is a human-form Witchcraft Ability that costs one Activation Charge and 35% Health. It marks a target with increased Critical Hit chance and Critical Damage; the rank table raises those bonuses and the effect duration from 20 seconds at rank 1 to 35 seconds at rank 4.
Rank 3 adds a transfer to a different enemy when the marked target dies. Rank 4 keeps that transfer and stuns the new target, so these ranks help carry the critical window through a group rather than increasing the opening mark alone.
All four ranks require Soul Stigma Manual and together cost seven skill points and five time segments. Because the cast spends Health as well as an Activation Charge, check your recovery plan before using it when Coen is already low on Health.
