In-game description

Sorcery used by the Putrescent Knight.

Launches a whirl of putrescent jets that bathe the surroundings of all they touch in ghostflame.

In an age long past, Death was burned by ghostflame. Even the remains of tainted flesh were given equal treatment in death.

What it hits with

HitMagicStancePer castFrostbite
Vortex of Putrescence32851170

Base damage per hit from the game's attack table (AtkParam_Pc), before your staff's scaling and the target's defenses; stance is the poise damage of the hit. "Per cast" is how many of that projectile one cast fires; how many of them reach one target depends on its size and distance, so no total per cast is given. Status buildup is per hit, from the effect the projectile applies. Hit names are the community's labels for the param rows.

Damage at your staff's scaling

The columns are the Sorcery Scaling number your staff shows in the status screen; each hit is its base damage × that number ÷ 100, before defenses and buffs. Find your staff's number at your stats with the build planner.
