Boom! The player skilled in this sphere can channel negative Nevernal energy to violently dispose of things and people around them.
Use[]
Destruction is one of the most (if not the most) damaging combat powers. However, be mindful of the fact that it can be resisted, leading to wasted NV points; hence, it's an unreliable offensive power. Excellent against normal enemies, may be much worse again power-resisting foes.
If you're not a subscribing (paying) member of AG and are therefore are limited to possessing at most three (3) powers, you should carefully weigh if this should be one of them. Good alternative candidates would include Restoration, Gating, Necromancy, Elementalism, Telekinesis (for its frequent scripted uses), etc. Be forewarned and "do your research" - or feel free to experiment, by all means.
Combat Effects[]
Both Destruction effects can be resisted.
Nevernal Energy Blast[]
Destruction's Instant Effect is called Nevernal Energy Blast. When it's cast successfully, the combat screen will give one of the following descriptions:
- You assail your foe with a deadly blast of negative Nevernal energy
- You unleash a powerful blast of negative Nevernal energy at your foe
This will replace your normal attack.

Destruction's Sustained Effect is called Sustained Decay. While it's active, you will see this description:
