Special interactions

When this spell overlaps another one on the field, 9 pairings do something extra. Every pairing in this build is on Special interactions.

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.

FireballandInk

The ink pool catches fire. Enemies standing in it take Ink and Burn.

Burn: Each tick deals the Burn damage multiplied by the run's Burn bonus. 2 damage every 0.2 s for 2 s. One application: 20 damage (10 ticks). A second application refreshes the timer; it does not stack.

Frost NovaandInk

The blast freezes the pool. Enemies standing in it slip and cannot steer.

InkandMagic Missile

The missile soaks up ink and leaves an Ink splash.

Ink splash: A burst of ink left where the soaked projectile hits.

InkandPrismatic Pylon

The pillar soaks up ink. Orbs it fires then leave an Ink splash.

Ink splash: A burst of ink left where the soaked projectile hits.

InkandRaise Dead

After your undead leave the pool, they drip an Ink droplet behind them.

Ink droplet: A drop of ink behind the undead every 2 s, lasting 5 s.

InkandRiptide

The wave drinks the ink and applies Ink to enemies it pushes. If Riptide is Roaring Flames, the pool catches fire instead and standing in it applies Burn.

Roaring Flames: Riptide splits into a pillar of fire that burns and no longer pushes monsters.

InkandShroud of Bones

The bone aura drinks the ink and applies Ink to enemies inside it.

InkandSpellblade

The blade drinks the ink. Hits then throw a Ink splash.

Ink splash: A burst of ink on the hit. 3.75 damage at the start of a run (that Spellblade hit divided by 4).
