D-grade Version:
[Pride of the Malefic Viper (Legendary)] – The arrogance and strong will of the Malefic Viper is known throughout the multiverse, and all of existence is made to quake in fear in his presence. Now, you have learned to take after him, your own pride a tangible weapon as you demand of the world to bend in your presence. Allows the alchemist to far more easily force their will upon the world. Significantly increases the effect of all Words of Power spoken. By channeling mana, you can make your presence no longer simply a warning, but a weapon to target the psyche of your foes directly.

[Pride of the Malefic Viper (Legendary)] – The arrogance and strong will of the Malefic Viper are known throughout the multiverse, and all of existence is made to quake in fear in his presence. Allows the Alchemist to far more easily force their will upon the world. Significantly increases the effect of all Words of Power spoken. By channeling mana, you can make your presence no longer simply a warning but a weapon to target the psyche of your foes directly, and during this time, forcing your will upon the world in any area affected by your presence becomes even easier than before. As your pride has only grown stronger, you have become able to not only bend mana to your will but deny the presence of any other forms of energy within your rightful domain, increasing resistance to all forms of energy-based attacks when you are infusing your presence with mana. The cost and effect of this is dependent on Willpower and the power of what you are weakening. Your pride increases all resistance to any kind of mind-affecting effects, but be warned that it wanes in despair. All effects of the mental attack increase based on the target’s vulnerability, the nature of your mental attack, and the disparity in Willpower between you and your foe. Passively provides 9 Intelligence per level in Heretic-Chosen Alchemist of the Malefic Viper (C-grade variant). May your will be truth, your pride eternal.
Mythical Rarity
B-grade Version:
[Pride of the Malefic Viper (Mythical)] – The endless pride of the Malefic Viper is legendary throughout the multiverse, and as you further comprehend his Origin, so will yours be. Significantly increases the effect of all Words of Power spoken. By challenging your mana and Willpower, impose your presence upon the world, granting you greater control of all energies while allowing you to attack the psyche of those within. Within your presence, all unwanted energies are denied and must overcome your will to affect you. The cost and effect of this are dependent on Willpower and the power of what you are attempting to deny. Your pride increases all resistance to any kind of mind-affecting effects, and allows you to fight back when anyone dares attempt to impose their will upon you directly, but be warned that all resistance wanes in despair. All effects of the mental attack increase based on the target’s vulnerability, the nature of your mental attack, and the disparity in Willpower between you and your foe. Passively provides 27 Willpower per level in Primeval Alchemist of Malefic Origin. May your will be truth, your pride eternal.
