Steven

A portion of Steven, worn on the head. After each spell cast, it applies a status effect — meaning spellcasters get automatic debuff delivery layered on top of their spells without spending extra actions. Strong for caster builds that want to stack status pressure alongside spell damage, turning every ability use into a two-part threat.

The StatusOnCastSpell passive fires after each ability use, attaching a status application to every spell as a bonus effect. This works on any ability regardless of type or element — area spells, single-target, utility, and self-buffs all trigger it equally. Casters that fire multiple abilities per turn multiply the status pressure significantly. As a head item it doesn't compete with face armor, leaving the face slot free for other caster accessories.

This Steven head piece is a core item for INT debuffer builds that want every spell cast to also apply a status. Pairs naturally with Glyph of Protection in the face slot for double status-on-cast coverage, and with Holy Tears for mana sustainability. Competes with other Steven head pieces depending on whether you want tag-based double-casting or status-on-cast layering — the debuff-stacking role is this piece's specialty.
