Yearn

In-Game Description

Creates a warm soul-like orb that serves
as a decoy and lures foes toward itself.

People regret loss and yearn for what they
do not have. Perhaps the name of this
sorcery harkens to this irony.

Use

Fires a projectile which creates a sound for a short time wherever it collides with a surface. Lasts for 10 seconds.

Certain types of enemies will be lured towards the sound, allowing the player to be totally ignored by them.

Availability

Sold by Carhillion of the Fold for 3,000 souls.

Notes

The spell's effect is similar to the Alluring Skull, though it works on more enemy types and its duration is longer.
It can be used by invading hostile phantoms, but only works on enemies already aggro'd by the host.
