You can now use Black Spirit’s Rage to block enemy’s HP recovery.
  -  You can “wound” the opponent with Black Spirit’s Rage skills.
  -  A certain percentage of Black Spirit skill damage will be inflicted as a “wound”.
  -  The “wound” will decrease the maximum amount of HP that can be recovered.
  -  The “wound” will be recovered by 10 per 5 seconds.
  -  Damage over time and additional damage based on HP or MP % will not inflict Wound.

For example, if a Warrior uses Spinning Slash with 100% Black Spirit’s Rage to attack a Berserker with 5000 HP and the Berserker took 2000 damage, the Berserker will take 1000 Wound, which is 50% of the damage. The Berserker will be able to recover his HP up to 4000 using HP potions.
