Effects and formulas#
- Reduces Strength, Dexterity and Intelligence.
- Stat loss is trunc(raw stat × school-scaled max(0, (8 + (Evaluating Intelligence − target Resisting Spells) / 10) / 100)). Duration is 1.2 × Evaluating Intelligence seconds.
- Does not replace a curse that has more remaining time; rejects an ineffectual or weaker replacement according to its existing stat modifiers. Also activates the shared Curse resistance-cap effect.
Notes#
- Magery–Necromancy school conflict can reduce the effects identified as school-scaled. Listed mana and cast delay are base values; equipment and casting rules modify actual costs and timing.
