Cull's Shadow

This is a Weapon of Sorrow. Landing two Frontal Blade hits within 2 seconds of each other, or scoring a Frontal Blade kill, heals you for 40 HP and grants one stack of 'Soulfire Charge'. Maximum of 6 stacks. Firing this weapon consumes one stack of Soulfire Charge to apply Potent Corruption (poison) that increases in DOT over time. Potent Corruption deals 65 [?] Kinetic damage once every 0.5 seconds for 10 seconds, ramping up in damage by 8.7% for each tick over 20 ticks, ending at 300 [?] damage on the final tick. In total, one application of Potent Corruption deals 2,985 [?] damage. Frontal Blades deal 50% increased melee damage against corrupted (poisoned) enemies.

Replaces your melee ability with a 2-hit combo blade attack. Each stab deals 543 [84] damage and has an extended lunge range of 7 meters. Scales with the Melee Stat and Melee-Damage Buffs. Despite its behavior, this is not considered a "Glaive Melee".

Enemies that are afflicted by this weapon's Potent Corruption create a 'Soulfire Crystal' upon death. Soulfire Crystals have 400 HP and linger in the world for 15 seconds upon creation.
