When Used

  • From inventory, when you do not already have another love song in your heart:
You read the snatch of song to yourself:

<verse>

It chills you to your very bones -- the bones in your heart. Hey, speaking of which, you probably ought to see a doctor about that.

You acquire an effect: Withered Heart
(duration: 5 Adventures)
Your heart can't take another love song so soon after the last one. The conflicting emotions would drive you totally mad.
  • In combat:
You read the Love Song of Disturbing Obsession. You can practically hear the kind of slinking, repetitive bassline that would accompany the lyrics:

<verse>

You smile a wicked, knowing smile as your opponent suffers X damage worth of pure terror.

You gain Y Wizardliness.

Verses

When you cry, I'll drink the tears
When you scream, I'll calm your fears of me
I want my love to be so very deep within
I wish that I could live inside your skin . . .

or

When you love, love no one else
When you're broke, you'll have the wealth of me
You're the only reason I exist
If you leave me, I will cut my wrists . . .

or

When you're hurt, I'll keep you safe
When you're scared, there's no escape from me
When you need me, I'll be right outside your door
You will never be alone, not anymore . . .

or

When you're lost, I'll be your world
When you're sad, you'll be the girl for me
Your love has gone so deep inside my head
I'd love you even more if you were dead . . .

or

When you wake, I will be near you
When you scream, no one will hear you but me
I will have been there all night watching you sleep
So you can drown inside a love so pure and deep . . .
