Death Spike
Death Spike is a Dark-elemental skill in Epic Battle Fantasy 3 and 4, used primarily by foes or through special effects of equipment. In the v3 update of EBF4, it was introduced as a special skill available to all characters except Natalie.
Description
When cast, a large spike seemingly from some sort of pale fleshy thing bursts out of the ground from beneath the target. The spike is black and has several gray skulls impaled onto it. This deals Dark elemental damage with a sizable chance of Instant Death, though it also has lower accuracy.
In EBF4, the player version inflicts Curse instead of instant death.

Epic Battle Fantasy 4
It was introduced as a learnable special skill with the v3 update, this version inflicts Curse instead of Instant Death. It can be obtained from a chest located in the Battle Mountain's dead/polluted forest.
Black Clay and Undying Monolith can also use Death Spike, and their version still inflicts Instant Death like in EBF3.
It is also available as a bonus spell from the premium Death Scythe staff, pre-v3 this utilized the same stats as the foe version and thus inflicted Instant Death, while after the update it now uses the new player version's stats and inflicts Curse instead.
