Pain is a monster-only Necromancy spell which fires a beam of negative energy against a single target. It must overcome its target's willpower to have an effect but never misses and is unaffected by AC. All nonliving, undead and demonic monsters are immune, as are players with rN+++ and monsters with rN+.

Monsters cast Pain with an enchantment power of 50, and a minimum spellpower (attack power) of 150, leading to most monsters dealing the same damage. It does damage given by:

1d(7 + Power/20)

  • Prior to 0.29, Pain was a level 1 Necromancy spell available to players, being one of the few spells that did self-damage (1 point of negative energy). Necromancers started with this spell. Pain's effect was moved into Necrotise.
