At the moment I am at Lvl 6 in the Priest Guild & have been offered the Oath of Scrolls trait. It offers a 20% reduction in magic damage BUT at the expense of a 20% INCREASE in damage from all hand weapons. Is this really worth it??? Right now ALL of my 6 team members have the Arcane Void trait from delivering the letter to Jathil. I'm not really sure I want to get either one of the Oath traits(Scrolls or Swords) if there is a penalty attatched to it. Could someone enlighten me on the good things about getting one of these two traits as opposed to NOT getting either one. These traits seem to fall into the category of what I call "Poison Candy traits" eg. they gift you & punish you at the same time. Traits that fall under this category as well are : Berserk, Boogreism, Fury, & Vampirsim.
