How Withering Presence fits a setup

Withering Presence is a persistent Spirit reservation, with Buff, Aura, Chaos and Duration among its tags. Its role is to apply Withered periodically to enemies in the character's Presence. That makes position relevant: a persistent effect around the player is a different delivery method from a curse aimed at a distant area.

The recorded reservation is thirty Spirit. It belongs in a reservation plan alongside other persistent skills or minions, rather than in a list of one-off mana costs. The source card gives a six-second Withered duration and a level-dependent application interval. Those are separate statistics: duration describes how long an application remains, while the interval describes how often the aura applies it. A guide should explain the interaction it wants from those applications before adding duration supports. The listed support candidates are compatibility leads, not a requirement to use every support at once. Check the current support wording and the skill's available sockets when comparing alternatives. Engrave this skill from an appropriate Uncut Spirit Gem. The broader skills table separates reservations from active attacks, and the Witch and Lich pages provide context for chaos and curse setups that may want to compare this aura with other uses of Spirit.
