__TOC__
<section begin=description /><noinclude>'''Torment''' temporarily</noinclude><includeonly>Temporarily</includeonly> summons a demonic force to do battle with the caster's target.<section end=description /> The demon is quite fickle and will end its assault if it is warded. Training in [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology]] can enhance this [[spell]].

Initial cast of this spell will perform a Warding attack at the target, performing an initial attack round on success. On failure, the spell ends. Every 2 seconds after the initial cast, the demon will lash out at the target in the form of a warding attack using the sorcerer's [[CS]]. These attacks will often result in [[Unbalance critical table|unbalance]], [[Slash critical table|slash]], or [[Puncture critical table|puncture]] critical injuries. If the demonic force does not succeed at warding the target on a given round, the spell ends. If not warded, this will continue for a maximum of 10 rounds.

==Target TD Modifiers==

Torment rounds modify the TD of the current target and are reconsidered on each strike by the demonic force. For each additional affliction (701, 710, 715, 716) on the target and each status condition within the below list on the target, the target suffers a -10 TD pushdown.

The maximum torment TD pushdown for a target is -100.

== Lore Benefits ==
===Quickened Misery===
At 25 ranks of training in [[Sorcerous Lore, Demonology]], Torment's cast RT is reduced by 1 second (minimum of 1s) and the mana cost by 25% (maximum of 50% total mana cost) for every curse or other sorcerer DoT from the caster on the target.
