Voodoo
From Pirates of the Caribbean Online Wiki
Voduo is a belief system forged in the Caribbean by Africans trying to retain their own religion. Voodoo dolls do not exist and never have existed in real life, but strange dolls have been seen near cemeteries in the Carribean and natives of some Carribean islands sell strange dolls.
In Pirates of the Caribbean Online, voodoo is used to heal oneself and allies, travel instantly from place to place, and cast harmful spells on an enemy. It is very loosely based on real-world Vodou Beliefs and is used in the game purely for entertainment purposes.

[edit] Voodoo Power
The pirate has a Voodoo power stat, displayed just beneath their health in blue. This value will decrease as Voodoo Hexes are cast. Each hex costs a different amount. If the hex costs more power than the pirate currently has, he/she will be unable to use that hex at that time.
Voodoo power recharges automatically over time, but drinking tonics, using Life Drain or getting healed or recharged by an NPC can restore it quickly.
[edit] Voodoo Weapons
For voodoo magic to be used requires an object as a focus. The first Voodoo object is a Voodoo Doll given to the pirate after running quests for Tia Dalma in Cuba.
The Voodoo Doll can be used to harm enemies or to heal other pirates, but it must be attuned to a target before use.
At Notoriety Level 30, the pirate is given the opportunity to acquire the more powerful Voodoo Staff. The staff can be used to harm groups of opponents without attunement.
As the player increases in Notoriety, Gypsies or other voodoo practitioners will offer quests to create teleportation totems. These tokens allow players to teleport to the civilized islands of Port Royal, Tortuga, Cuba, and Padres Del Fuego directly at any time.
[edit] Voodoo Enemies
The pirate is not the only one who can tap into this power. Some of Jolly Roger's undead army and Davy Jones' crew have this ability as well.
The Witchdoctor and Brinescum attack with Poke, Swarm and Curse - while the Gypsy and Molusk can use the more dangerous Grave Shackles and Life Drain hexes.
[edit] Voodoo Bosses
The elite of the voodoo-makers show pirates their true terror. These dogs are more powerful with voodoo than other minons of Jolly Roger.
[edit] Voodoo Allies
A Gypsy can be found on all of the main islands. They sell health tonics as well as improved voodoo dolls and staffs.
Also, they may have a quest for the pirate to perform.
Tia Dalma is the pirate's major ally in learning the dark arts and obtaining their voodoo objects. Also Roland Raggart on Padres del Fuego aides the pirate in finding the more powerful Harrow Staff and Vile Staff.
