Agony

Version 0.31: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Cuts the health of a target creature in half. This damage is never directly lethal.

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.

The following enemies cast Agony:

• p Death knight (monster)
• 1 Ignacio
• a Imperial myrmidon
• p Necromancer (monster)

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

Agonizing Touch

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

The following enemies cast Agonizing Touch:

• H Fenstrider witch

• 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.
