Skill functions and interactions

• Triggering: Curse skill gems linked with Bane are not directly usable (like other triggering methods). Triggering Bane however will not trigger any linked curses, since any skill linked with multiple triggers are disabled. Instead the curse skill will trigger alone in sequence as you would expect when linking multiple skills to a single trigger.
• Witchfire Brew: Linking a 21 despair to bane and equipping a Witchfire brew flask causes some strange interactions. It will allow you to self cast the curse even though it's linked to a trigger. Further investigation needed for any other possible side effects.
• Blasphemy: Bane will not benefit from linked curses if they are also linked to Blasphemy SupportBlasphemy SupportSupport, Aura

• Damage Bonus: Bane's damage bonus per curse applied is additive with itself. For example, a level 20 Bane linked with two curse will deal 94% more Damage.
• Curse Application: Bane will still apply the linked curses even if it does not do any damage, for example because you have the Ancestral Bond keystone ability. It can also be used to break barrels in this situation.
