-When Ensorcelled Hibernation is cast and passes a [[willpower]] check, the targeted monster goes to [[sleep]]. Like other sleeping monsters, they may awaken when: you spend time in their [[LOS]] (depending on [[stealth]]), they hear [[noise]], or when injured by any attack. The sleep has no set duration, so a monster outside your LOS can sleep indefinitely so long as it isn't disturbed. However, they are guaranteed to sleep for at least one turn (i.e, you'll get a minimum of 1 action with the monster asleep).

 Monsters normally have access to the [[Sleep]] spell, which has the same effect but has no cooldown and works even with rC+. [[Player ghost]]s still have the proper version of this spell, though.

-Decent spell for XL 2 or so [[Enchanter]]s. Sleep allows for a single, powerful stab on an opponent. However, your opponent, if it survives, will be awake and immune to this spell for some time. And, due to its low power cap, Ensorcelled Hibernation has trouble hexing mid-game / late-game opponents.

 ===Compared to Confusing Touch===
-[[Confusing Touch]] tends to perform better as an overall [[Hexes]] spell, since it lets you get multiple hex "attempts" to cast. For example, if you have a 20% success rate, Confusing Touch usually costs 3 MP, while Ensorcelled costs an average of 10 MP.

-In turn, Ensorcelled Hibernation has an advantage against enemies with low/no willpower. It takes a turn to "ready" Confusing Touch before you start confusion attempts. Confusing attacks can miss, wasting turns. Ensorcelled can work on the turn it is cast, which can save turns at high success rates.

In addition, confusion lasts for multiple turns, which means multiple stabs, and multiple turns where your opponent isn't doing much. Note that Ensorcelled Hibernation has an advantage against monsters with low / no willpower.
