CIRCLE

Type: combat                        Area of Effect: 1 target - touch
Class: Assassin, Demoniac

Circle can be used to start a fight by helping you ADVANCE on ranged opponents.
Type circle and wait a beat or two before trying to attack your target. It has
a 1-3 round delay at rank 1 and a 1-2 round delay at rank 2+ and the sneaky
have a better chance of succeeding.

It can also be used after attaking your foe... So now you've retreated from the 
fight and caught your breath... hey, surely the mob wouldn't think you'd be 
stupid enough to come back and try to backstab him again? Maybe if you just 
circle around to his backside... Remember that all the same rules apply for your 
attack, like you can't backstab him if he's alert. Maybe wait until he relaxes
before circling him to attack again.

Circle will increase your chances of landing a backstab and will defeat wraithform
protection that your opponent may have. It will also increase your damage on
foes who are fighting others. If you are going to use this whille in a group, 
turn off your autojoin.

While this explaination talks about backstab, circle can be used with any attack
that you want, gore, impale, assassinate, etc. 

Usage: circle <victim>
