Brain Bite is a monster-only spell that does 4-8 irresistible damage, and drains the player's MP. The MP lost is equal to 20% of your max MP, rounded down (min. 1 MP). If the player has less than 20% of their max MP, they take double damage, 8-16. Monsters gain the antimagic status instead. This spell is smite-targeted.
