ExsanguinateandInk

The bind drinks the ink pool. The bind then applies Ink, and each pool it drank makes the bind hit harder.

Ink: The enemy is stained dark and moves at half speed. A burning enemy that is also inked feeds the Inky Ignition perk. Unlike the crowd control statuses, ink lands on a boss too. Lasts 3 s at the start of a run, set by Ink Duration.

ExsanguinateandRaise Dead

The bind drinks your undead. Each one it drank makes the bind hit harder.
