History of Charged with Blight

Overview

Charged with Blight is the secondary trait on Touch of Malice, an Exotic Scout Rifle. Precision hits raise stability and reload speed and drain enemies' life force to charge a ball of Darkness. The alternate weapon action heals you and fires the charged projectile. On impact it wraps enemies in Darkness, blinding them and inflicting Corruption.

Prima Games says 10 precision hits give 10 stacks and that the shot increases Weapons of Sorrow damage by 50%, along with blind and poison for about three seconds. Destinypedia says the damage bonus applies to Touch of Malice, Thorn, Osteo Striga and Necrochasm, not to the perk text itself. Some guides list reload as the fire input rather than the alternate action.

The intrinsic perk, a bonus-damage last round that regenerates, is separate from this trait.
