Crackling is an Invention perk that damages the player's target every 60 seconds for 50% ability damage per rank in PvM, or 10% per rank in PvP. It can be created in weapon and armour gizmos.
The style of damage Crackling inflicts is based on the equipped mainhand weapon. Some damage modifiers are taken into account when calculating the damage. Crackling takes adrenaline from the player's opponent in PvP.[source needed]
- Using Ancient Magicks against Muspah causes Crackling to deal double damage.
- Using Fire spells against Ice strykewyrms or Glacors causes Crackling to deal double or +50% damage.
- Using Metamorphosis increases Crackling's damage if a magic weapon is wielded in the main-hand slot.
- Targets affected by Vulnerability take 10% additional Crackling damage.
- Berserk auras and damage boosting scrimshaws increase Crackling's damage.
- TokHaar creatures in the Fight Kiln will take half damage from Crackling when attacked with the incorrect combat type.
- Some monsters such as kurask are immune to damage from Crackling.
Other damage modifiers are ignored, including Berserk, Death's Swiftness, and Sunshine. Regardless of your weapon, Crackling is never able to damage Vyrewatch.
As Crackling is dealt as ability damage, it will consume Ingenuity of the Humans effect despite having 100% accuracy regardless of the target's defence level, values and affinities.
