Usage

 * The healing effect matches the health lost after 10 seconds. As such, it is imperative to use a Cover hex to ensure that Illusion of Pain is not too easily removed before its time, otherwise your target will 'effectively' be healed.
 * Also, as the healing effect is not tied to the duration, using Illusion of Pain with Mantra of Persistence means your target will lose more health than he gains back at the end.
 * This spell should ideally be used only on targets who are probably going to die before the duration runs out.
 * Recasting the hex on your target will remove the older hex and not trigger the healing, and can be kept on the target indefinitely when combined with Mantra of Recovery or Mantra of Persistence.
 * Inflict a Deep Wound or use a healing reduction skill (Defile Flesh, Lingering Curse or Malign Intervention) to reduce the healing.
