Aspect
Neb-ra Lineage
Aspect of the Neb-ra, a clan of golden undead. A characteristic of their half-dead state.
HP gradually restored to 1/2 of max.
However, a Goldblood Stake restores less.
The Neb-ra, who bear insects in their hollowed-out cavities, were born of an arcane rite and are considered abominations against life, even amongst Bloodsworn.
Nighteye
Personal aspect of Sniper Layla.
Longer range for lock-ons and observation.
Long ago, when Layla became part of the Neb-ra, the arcane rite unraveled, and part of Layla's face began to rot.
The failed rite claimed an entire eyeball, but the dark empty socket became her new eye, capable now of piercing the night sky.
