Attributes and Skills
[build prof=me/any fastc=11+1 dom=10+1+1 ins=10][Power Leak][Arcane Languor][Wastrel's Worry][Aneurysm][optional][optional][Ether Phantom][Drain Delusions][/build]


 * Power Drain or Energy Tap are the top choices for the first optional slot.
 * First choice for the second optional slot is Mind Wrack.

Equipment

 * Survivor's and/or Radiant Insignias as is felt needed.
 * 40/40 Domination is preferred, however a 40/40 Fast Casting set may be viable as well.

Usage

 * Cast Arcane Languor. Apply pressure with Wastrel's Worry. Interrupt at key moments with Power Leak.
 * Cast Ether Phantom followed by Drain Delusions for energy management as well as further pressuring enemy energy. You may also keep Arcane Languor covered with Ether Phantom.
 * Requiring a bit of wit on your part, cast Aneurysm after Arcane Languor has Exhausted most of your target's energy. If bringing Mind Wrack, you may use it as an indicator as to the most opportune moment to cast Aneurysm, however, be sure to bring a cover hex, or cover it with Ether Phantom.

Counters

 * General Anti-Caster hate.
 * Heavy hex removal.

Variants

 * Spirit Shackles may take the first optional slot as a cover hex and also to provide more usefulness against Warriors and Assassins.
 * Power Leech can replace Arcane Languor if you feel you can't manage your energy, however keep in mind Aneurysm will recover enemy energy to full.
