-'''Agony''' is a level 5 [[Necromancy]] spell which functions as [[torment]] against a single, adjacent target. If it succeeds against the target's [[willpower]], it cuts their HP by half, never lethal. Like torment, [[negative energy resistance]] provides protection (players: -5% HP per rN+, monsters: having any rN+ gives total immunity).

-However, it can only be used in melee range. The caster must be able to survive a few turns at close range to take full advantage of it. Don't skimp on the evasion, and prepare a safe line of retreat if things go sour. If you haven't branched into other magic schools, [[Borgnjor's Vile Clutch]] is a good choice for either an escape tool or a finishing blow.

 '''Agony''' is a level 5 [[Necromancy]] spell which functions as a single-target [[torment]], cutting the [[HP]] of one adjacent target in half. It cannot deal lethal damage, but it can very quickly soften up powerful, uninjured targets like [[hydra]]s or [[giant]]s to make them more manageable.
-Like torment, it is worthless against enemy demons and all undead, and reduced by [[negative energy resistance]]. It can also be resisted by [[willpower]]. Note that Agony has an [[enchantment power]] multiplier of x5, which makes it much harder to resist than the usual [[Hexes|Hex]].
