The Taken Warlock: The Wraithmancer
You are a Warlock. A scholar of a dying history. With your own will, you reach past the borders of time and reality, causing disjunct points in time and space to come together, in a beautiful juxtaposition.
You are taken.
Take a break. Breath the air of the moment at present. You only see clearly now.
What makes you pursue knowledge? What makes you want to chase down infinity as though it were a number and not a concept?
Not even a galactic cycle old, and you already act like you understand everything about the world around you. You forget, that what you perceive as a year, as a lifetime is not even an iota compared to the age of the universe. I am billions of your years old. The things I’ve seen would warp your mind and drive you mad. If you really seek the other end of the cosmos, here I am.
My power, my knowledge, is yours. Take it.
There is a knife for you. It is shaped like [intangible].
Take up the knife. Become unseen, like death. Take your new shape.
Super Ability: Dimensional Tear
Super Ability: Dimensional Tear
You become a hole in the fabric of reality, unable to be seen or harmed, and the enemy will fear your invisible touch. You shall be the rift, the passage for the Darkness to leak into the Light. While your impact upon the physical realm is lessened, it does not lessen your effect on the Light.
(You become invisible and invincible, unable to be targeted by enemies. However, your damage output is decreased by 50%. That means that in the Crucible, you cannot one snipe someone in the head with a Hereafter. You can with a Black Spindle, but only for 226 damage. Yep. From 452 to 226. It takes two shotgun shots to kill someone, and four melees to kill someone. Guardians in the Crucible spawn back as Major Taken Thrall with 150 health. Tapping into the field of infinite Darkness means that your abilities regenerate faster.)
Hellspawn: Immediately spawns a squad of Taken upon activation. Decreases the length of the super.
spawns two Taken Acolytes and a Shadow Thrall, Acolytes spawn Eyes
decreases length from 20 seconds to 10 seconds
Enraged Brood: Every enemy Taken spawns back in its Major form and Enraged, at the cost of the user’s life force.
takes down 33 health points, allows for six Major allies
Major allies are enraged, with more health and more aggression
Guardians killed in the Crucible now summon a Major Taken Acolyte with 150 health.
Chiaroscuro Field: Causes a field of suppression around you, and at the end of the Super, causes you to be reduced to half health.
has the range of a Stormcaller’s Thunderstrike with Amplify
(Note: Wraithmancers have Blink as a jump.)
Sinkhole Grenade: Opens a well of Darkness in the ground that sucks anything in its vicinity downward and deals damage.
has a timed activation like Storm Grenade and has the same area of effect
Guardian experiences falling like the opening part of Crota’s end
does 175 damage in Crucible
Guardian is temporarily teleported below the map, and then brought back to original position if they don’t die
Blight Grenade: Spawns a Taken Blight where the grenade lands.
similar to a Taken Blight in PvE, spawns Taken enemies at a slow but constant rate
has 290 health points in Crucible, can be two shot with a 1000-Yard Stare
Hellfire Grenade: Splits in midair, and leaves spots of lingering flames wherever it lands.
similar to a Taken Knight’s Solar attack in PvE
Vacuum Force: A powerful vacuum that forces the enemy close and disorients them for a few seconds.
(In PvE, the enemy is suppressed and cannot attack back. In PvP, the Guardian is pointed in a random direction but is not blinded or suppressed.)
Soul Absorption: Kills with melee immediately restore a significant portion of your health.
Irradiation: Enemies not immediately killed by Vacuum Force are launched forwards at incredible force after a second.
Drain Chain: Melee chains between enemies close to each other, and all enemies caught are disoriented.
Gift of the Deep: Gain an additional grenade.
Singularity Bulb: Grenades now slowly pull enemies into them.
enemies sucked to the location where the grenade landed
Residual Power: While Torn, a trail of Taken goo is left behind, slowing enemies.
similar to slowing effect from Nightstalker Smoke Bomb
Bridge of Darkness: Enemies killed while Suppressed come back as Taken. Super length is reduced.
Suppression via Chiaroscuro Field and Vacuum Force
Reduces Super length down to 15 seconds, if Hellspawn is active, reduces Super length to 8 seconds.
Force of Soul: Damage output reduction from Dimension Tear is removed completely, at the cost of the user’s health.
any damage output is divided by five then that amount of damage is applied to the Guardian (PvE damage is adjusted to be proportional to a Guardian’s health)
Taking multiple enemies is a near guaranteed suicide
Umbrakinesis: Pressing O,O will spawn a Shadow Thrall.
Shadow Thrall has 100 health in Crucible.
Can only be activated on the ground.
Animation takes one second to complete and renders the user immobile and easily sniped.
Flavor Text: He promised that I would explore outer space. He was wrong. I saw the universe in me.
Perk: Inverse Sun: Unlocks Singularity Bulb for free.
Flavor Text: He promised me that I would be the one to raise the dead. He was wrong. I am the dead.
Perk: Claws of Darkness: Gives a second melee charge. Using Vacuum Force while Torn gives burn damage to the enemy.
Chest: Shield of Horu’usk
Flavor Text: The multiple scratches on the inside of this spell “My heart beats for you.”
Perk: Comrade Barrier: Every Taken ally grants their health to you.
Every Taken ally you have on the field temporarily gives you ten health in the form of an overshield.
Overshield lasts for a maximum of five seconds after the termination of Dimensional Tear.
Flavor Text: He promised me that I would grow wings. He was wrong. I no longer need them.
Perk: Anti-Gravity: Increased Agility and Movement Speed.
You also float slightly off the ground and glide over the ground instead of walk.
Thank you so much if you made it to the end! I am gonna tag some people here:
Thank you to @destinywaits, @jencforcarolina, @theravenmother, and @cantstopwontstopdestinytrash for helping me make this concept!
I am also tagging @nemonuus because I know that you wanted this a while ago, I hope I did you proud on this.
And also @takenstormcaller because your name fits too well.
So, what do you think of this concept? Would it be cool if this was in the game? Would you use it? Or would you complain about its overpoweredness? Please leave me any feedback, positive or negative, it’s always appreciated!
Have a good day, Guardians. Taken Hunter coming soon.
