Design Notes:

The scribe is a stationary enemy best placed somewhat out of the player's reach. Once the player enters its active  range, it begins its casting animation which starts drawing a cursed sigil over the player's head. If the player doesn't leave the scribe's range or damage/defeat it in time, the completed sigil turns red and attacks the player for heavy damage or inflicts some other negative effect such as paralyzing them in place. The scribe would serve as a strategic obstacle generally to be placed in either a hard-to-reach area or behind other, tougher enemies to force the player to linger within its range.  This forces the player to choose between backing out of its range or prioritize defeating it quickly.
