-[[Pain]] is a level 1 [[Necromancy]] spell which fires a beam of [[negative energy]] against a single target. It never misses and its damage is not reduced by [[AC]], but it must overcome its target's [[willpower]] to have any effect. All nonliving, undead and demonic monsters are immune, as are players and monsters with rN+++.

 Along with the MP cost, casting Pain also deals 1 point of negative energy damage to the caster unless they are [[undead]] (living [[vampire]]s do not qualify), a [[deep dwarf]], or has only 1 [[HP]] left.

 Early on, this spell is effectively 3.5 times more powerful than the "typical" Hex, meaning you are unlikely to see [[orc warrior]]s resisting it three times in a row, as can happen with [[Confusing Touch]] or [[Ensorcelled Hibernation]]. However, it has such a low power cap that it becomes virtually useless against later mid-game and end-game enemies.
