 Irradiate is irresistible, never misses, deals high damage, and inflicts a strong debuff on enemies. For casters and hybrids who can afford the somewhat awkward spell schooling, this is a good spell to have. Sometimes you'll be forced to fight enemies in melee range, where this spell can really shine.
-[[Mephitic Cloud]] and [[Hexes]] have a special synergy with Irradiate, as this spell lowers both [[HD]] and [[willpower]], making the former spells more likely to succeed. In addition, the AC reduction also helps with using [[Short Blades]] or other quick weapons.
