Agony

Agony is a monster-only spell which attempts to inflict torment on a single target in LOS, requiring line of fire. If it succeeds a willpower check, it cuts their current HP by half. As with regular torment, negative energy resistance provides protection (players: -5% HP per rN+), as well as torment resistance.

Players can cast an analogous spell, Curse of Agony. Player ghosts with Curse of Agony get this spell instead.

Agonising Touch

Agonising Touch has an identical effect to Agony, but it only has a range of 1.

History

• Prior to 0.31, Agony was a level 5 Necromancy spell that player could cast, and it only had a range of 1. Most monsters had Agony Range, which is identical to the current version of the spell. Fenstrider witches had the player version of Agony, which is now renamed to Agonizing Touch.
• Prior to 0.25, Agony had full LOS range. Monsters had plain Agony instead of Agony Range.
