Damage over time (DoT) refers to effects that cause damage periodically for a set number of turns, without requiring an active action from the source of the damage.

• Burning - Fire damage that also destroys items
• Poison - Damage based on percentage of current HP
• Bleeding - Fixed damage per turn
• Corruption - Gradually turns the target into an enemy
• Drowsy - Eventually causes sleep effect

• Attacks: Some enemies have attacks that apply DoT effects
• Traps: Fire traps, poison traps, and other environmental hazards
• Weapons: Weapons with specific enchantments (like Fire, Poison, etc.)
• Spells: Certain spells like Ignite or Corrupt
• Items: Some items may apply DoT when equipped or used

• Potion of Purity - Removes most DoT effects
• Chalice of Blood - For bleeding effects
• Ring of Elements - Provides resistance to various DoT effects
• Resistances - Natural resistances can reduce or prevent DoT effects

• Apply DoT to enemies before other attacks to increase overall damage
• Combine DoT with other effects (like roots) to maximize damage while the enemy can't escape
• Use DoT on groups of enemies to affect multiple targets simultaneously
• Consider DoT when deciding whether to engage in combat
