Withered
Withered is a debuff which applies a 6% increased chaos damage taken on the affected target, stacking up to 15 times.
NOTE: The look of Withered was changed at some point prior to 3.20 to the current "purple smoke" version. The screenshot on the Wither page (as of 3-23-23) shows the original look, a set of purple hovering/rotating spheres, effectively a purple-colored version of floating frenzy/endurance/power charge orbs, which matches the Withering Presence Ascendancy Notable icon:
Important: Many effects in PoE have "smoke" on enemies and can very easily be confused with one another, such as the effect from Aul's Uprising.
