Linger

From Spell Set › At a glance

Control spells work on the enemy's clock: knock it back (Repel), slow it (Linger), silence its special attacks (Hush), or stop it outright (Prism Snare). Repel is unchanged from the prototype.

From Spell Set › Control

Linger into Wither: a slower enemy takes more of the damage over time between its attacks.

From Spell Set › Composites

[ ] Several shapes may be confused by the recognizer and need a check on device: the Keepers' loops (Toll, Hasten, Linger), the Still Choir's short strokes (Hush, Calm, Listen), and Gale against Squall.

3. The Hour Stair

Where

The Hour Stair

Beat

Keeper Hale's sealed records: the truth of the Breaking, and the Sallow warp as the same pattern, small.

Set piece

The hour sentinel (Hale's trial)

Spells

Hasten, Linger; Toll (side)

From Walkthrough: Act 3 › The act at a glance

Fragment: Linger, a whole glyph cut into the seventh bell's frame (Event_linger_glyph). Learning it is optional but the trial is much easier with it.

From Walkthrough: Act 3 › Chapter 3: The Hour Stair › The climb

The Pull (25% to the end). It turns to the stilled townsfolk at the arena's edge and starts pulling them toward the warp. A 40 s timer shows on screen, and its blows come every 5 s. Linger halves the timer's pace while it lasts; Hasten helps land long threads. If the timer runs out, one glass figure cracks (it does not break, and the figure heals in chapter 5, but Aske reacts), and the fight goes on.

From Walkthrough: Act 3 › Chapter 4: The glint colossus › The glint colossus

Linger into Prism Snare (Keepers into Facets): slowed, then held. Hale's scribes argue over whether it is allowed.

Difficulty

From Walkthrough: Act 3 › Encounters

[ ] The First Pair. A new named composite, Brace into Facet Seal, learned from a reflected glyph that shows the Still Age drew both kinds together. Recommendation: keep it. It makes the Stop-both path something the player discovers rather than something they're offered, and it puts the theme (no side is right) into the oldest glyph in the world. The fallback (any cross-side thread) means no player is locked out of the path. Settled: the First Pair replaces the spell roadmap's Stillhold (Facet Seal into Linger), and keeps #FFFFFF on purpose instead of the cross-side #FFE08A (VEL-63).
