Ray of enfeeblement was a necromancy spell that sapped the strength of a target.[6][5]
Effects[]
When ray of enfeeblement was cast, a coruscating beam was shot from the caster's hand at the target, at a close distance of 25 feet (7.6 meters) or more. If it struck, the victim lost some of their strength, becoming much weaker, though they could not become completely paralyzed. The caster's experience determined the range and degree of strength lost. It could not be resisted, but the effect faded in a matter of minutes.[6]
Following the Spellplague, the caster merely had to point three curled fingers at the target. A stream of strange green mist arose the victim as their strength left their body if they could not resist. This did physical harm and left them feeling weak for several seconds.[5]
Components[]
It required verbal and somatic components.[6]
History[]
The spell was attributed to Netherese arcanist Hamring in −1294 DR and was originally called Hamring's enfeeblement.[1]
