 Due to the aura's value, the aura applies roughly **eight** times each round, but to **a random square** next to the caster each time, or even to the caster's own square. The caster is immune to this effect, and thus doesn't get to drain their own life into their own HP and [[Fatigue]] pools. Due to the aura's value, the aura applies roughly **eight** times each round, but to **a random square** next to the caster each time, or even to the caster's own square.

-The variety of Life Drain Soul Vortex provides is **unlimited**; this means that the potential damage-increase due to [[DRN]] will also increase the healing, but it also makes [[Inanimate]] beings immune to the damage.+The variety of Life Drain Soul Vortex provides is **unlimited**; this means that the potential damage-increase due to [[DRN]] might increase the healing with it to quite-high levels, but it also makes [[Inanimate]] beings immune to the damage.
  
 Soul Vortex costs 40 Fatigue to cast. This is reduced by levels of overcast; for example, casting it at {{path>D4}} costs only 20 Fatigue, while casting it at {{path>D6}} costs only 10 Fatigue. Soul Vortex costs 40 Fatigue to cast.

-Since the Aura has 9 squares to affect each combat round but will generally only affect 8 at most, Soul Vortex isn't very reliable for one-on-one fights. The high Fatigue cost exposes its caster to additional damage, in fact, at least from melee hits. That being said, the Fatigue can be quickly recouped for mages surrounded by troops; archers/crossbowmen held in place, Bodyguards, and even Blood Slaves can all serve as "batteries" that keep the caster slinging spells.+Since the Aura has 9 squares to affect each combat round but will generally only affect 8 at most, Soul Vortex isn't very reliable for one-on-one fights.

 Soul Vortex can be rather good on [[thugs]], since they'll often be outnumbered and swamped in troops. It pairs decently with [[Phoenix Pyre]], since the Fatigue recovery from the life-drain can offset the cost of the Extra Lives. Soul Vortex can be rather good on [[thugs]], since they'll often be outnumbered and swamped in troops.
