Enfeeble

Enfeeble is a Level 7 Hexes spell that always applies the weakness and diminished spells statuses to the targeted foe. In addition, succeeding on a willpower check will daze and blind the target. It can even blind monsters that are physically unblindable.

All statuses from this spell have a duration of 5 + spellpower/20 turns (min. 5 turns). Casting Enfeeble again won't stack the duration, it only resets it.

For the daze and blind effect, Enfeeble has an enchantment power multiplier of x4,<ref>Template:Source ref</ref> which makes it significantly harder to resist than most other Hexes. See the Willpower article for more details.

Strategy

While Enfeeble cannot kill an orb of fire on its own, it is still a useful spell for Hexes specialists. Against enemies with moderate-or-lower will, it will often cause daze/blindness, disabling enemies completely (until damaged) and making them vulnerable to stabs. Against infinite will enemies, Enfeeble can still be useful to weaken them, although at the cost of 7 MP.

Note that diminished spells does not work on natural or priestly abilities (anything antimagic works on, it works on).
