Torture has been a part of World of Warcraft since its inception because it is the foundation of the Warlock class. Searing Pain inflicts pain on the enemy target over time, Immolation burns the enemy over time, and the Succubus lashes its target with Lash of Pain. These and other abilities are a form of torture because it is slow and painful. Keep moralism out of the game; this isn't real life.
