For every benefit brought by an Erosion spell, a cost must be paid.
The cost and benefit for each spell is listed individually below.
So long as the cost can be paid, the spells may be used repeatedly.
Where the cost involves losing seconds from one's death count, this is for the rest of the encounter only, and the player's death count resets at the end of the encounter
You cannot make your death count negative by paying a cost.
If your death count is reduced 0 seconds and you are capable of bleeding out, you die immediately on dropping to 0 body hits.
