Merciless Reaper Notes

• This gift also applies it's effect to weapon projectiles, like bayonet shots. 
• Only affects the first hit of multi-hit combos or skill type gifts.
• The damage increase will be consumed even if the attack does not hit an enemy.
• Has no effect on light/dark type direct damage gifts and will not be consumed when casting them.
• Provides no benefit against enemies with 0% physical resistance.
• Negative physical resistance will be quadrupled ( -10% will become -40%)
• Positive physical resistance will be reduced to a quarter (40% will become 10%)
• The physical defense reduction applies to Drain Attacks, including charged ones. The buff will not be consumed (unless performing a launching drain attack). This gives parries and backstabs higher damage if performed on the correct enemy, as long as the buff mantains active.
