Envenom [Spiritual/Thief 8]: You may safely apply enchanted venoms to any weapon that was created partially or wholly with the 'Bladesmith' skill. You may use any type of venom with any such weapon regardless of the weapon’s maximum called damage rating. You must call the venom's effect Verbal (usually '<effect> by Poison) on the next strike you make with that weapon. This effect follows the standard rules for expenditure: if it is delivered via a melee or thrown weapon, the effect is expended once it connects and is acknowledged by role-playing or negated by a called defense; if it is delivered via a packet, the effect is expended once it is thrown. If you use any other effect through the envenomed weapon, the venom is expended without effect. Venoms cannot be removed from weapons once applied. If the event ends and you have not used the effect of venom you have already applied, the venom is expended even if its original duration extended beyond the event. No other character may use poisons that you apply. Poisons may be applied to individual arrow reps, but if this arrow rep is misplaced or taken, the poison is gone. Using this skill has no Stamina cost.
