An abbreviation for a "damage over time" spell or the act casting such a spell. This refers to spells and abilities that do their damage in a series of small amounts called "ticks." DoTs, or simply "dots," usually allow their caster to do other things while the DoT finishes out its allotted ticks of damage.
Many DoTs can be removed with an appropriate defensive spell, such as Dispel Magic or Cure Poison.
