Atrocity

A ruling triggered by extreme spellcasting; three of them earned Donut a class and a divine title.

Story so far

Princess Donut received her Oak Fell class as a direct result of casting three atrocities. Neither Mordecai nor Rosetta had ever seen a new class awarded that way, and Milk pinned it on posturing by Nekhebit around the Champion of Nekhebit title. Rosetta guessed the triggering spell had been worded something like "first crawler to cast three atrocities on the next floor gets the title and class," with Odette as the likely author.

Role

The ruling whose triple occurrence handed Donut her class and champion title.
