Support Skill Gems

Support Gems represent the ability of your character to more efficiently and powerfully use soul energy. You gain a Support Gem every 4 levels, and you can use them to modify any Skill Gems you know.

With the exception of Reduced Mana Cost, Support Gems increases the **Mana** cost of a Skill Gem, sometimes drastically. The number in brackets is the amount the Support Gem increases the Mana cost of a Skill Gem per tier. Identical Support Gems do not stack on the same skill.

Increased duration effects make Skill Gems with the duration tag last longer, but Support Gems effects with a duration effect such as Poison are not changed.

**Whenever a player uses a Skill Gem with a Support, they have full control on what combination of Support Gems they do and do-not activate on any given action.**

*Example:*
*Raiz knows the skill Fireball, and the Support Gems Blind and Fire Penetration. Fireball has a **Mana** cost of 1 if he chooses to cast it unmodified. The Blind Support has a **Mana** cost of 2, if Raiz pays an additional 2 mana, for a total of 3, his fireball will now Blind all enemies on impact. If Raiz wants to combine both Blind and Fire Penetration supports he can, but he must pay 2 **Mana** for blind, 2 **Mana** for Fire Penetration and 1 **Mana** for Fireball. The total cost of his Fireball is now 5 mana, but it both blinds enemies and pierces Elemental **Resistance**.*
*Raiz can support any Skill Gems he has absorbed with these Supports, though Fire Penetration will only help with fire damage.*

When you take damage equal to your threshold you may activate this Support. You may cast a spell, paying the **Mana** cost for the spell reflexively even though it's not currently your turn. If this spell moves you, it may interrupt further actions by that opponent (eg the additional strikes from multistrike). If you take enough damage to fall unconscious you can still activate Cast When Damage Taken, but you immediately fall unconscious after your spell has activated.

Projectiles attack another target of choice after hitting the initial target at the start of your next turn. For purposes of the source of the chained attack, the origin of the projectile is considered to be from the previous target of the chain.

Cast a spell on critical strike with a melee or ranged attack. You must pay the **Mana** cost of the activated skill. The spell uses the same **WAM** roll you used to activate it. You can choose how you target the spell as if you were casting it from your location normally. The activated spell is activated with the same Support Gems used for the attack, if applicable (and you need to pay the according **Mana** modification costs).

Each tier allows you to activate an additional spell. No additional **Mana** cost besides the **Mana** cost of the additional spell

Cast a spell on your death. The spell deals an additional 10 **WAM**. This cannot support totems or minions. Unlike most supports, you must prepare the Cast on Death with the supported Skill Gem in a 5 minute ritual. You cast the spell on death if you die in the next 24 hours. For the duration, you may not prepare another Cast on Death ritual, and your body has cracks that exude soul energy, making it obvious that you've got Cast on Death prepared.
