Coiling Whisper is a unique Amethyst RingAmethyst RingRequires Level 30+(17-23)% to Chaos Resistance.

Mechanics

Power: Normal Monsters have 1 Power, Magic Monsters 2, Rare Monsters 10, Unique Monsters 20, and Players 5

When 90% of your Hex's Duration Expires on an Enemy, Eat 1 Soul per Enemy Power: When a hex inflicted by the character on an enemy has elapsed 90% of its total duration, the character will gain a number of stacks of Soul Eater equal to that enemy's power. Hexproof does not prevent this interaction.

The main issue with triggering soul gain is that the target may die or the hex may be overwritten before 90% of its duration elapses. Certain solutions, some of which can be combined, include:
