The Gaping Wound knack enables nethermancers to create the illusion that a Wound is far worse than it truly is. The knack can only be used with spells that damage the target based on the caster's Willforce. To use the Gaping Wound knack, an adept takes 2 points of Strain damage and makes the Spellcasting Test per standard rules. If the spell's target receives a Wound from the spell, the wound appears to be severe and look very grotesque. The adept may make an immediate Intimidation Test against the target. If the spell's target takes damage from the spell but does not suffer a Wound, the spellcaster takes the Strain for using the knack, but the knack has no effect.
