Version 0.32: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
Your physical attacks do less damage.

Weak is a status effect which reduces the target's melee damage. Player attacks are reduced by 25%,[1] and monster attacks are reduced by 33%.[2]

You can instantly cure yourself of weakness through use of Elyvilon's Purification ability or a potion of cancellation. Yara's Violent Unravelling can also remove weakness, but at the cost of heavy damage, malmutation, and magical contamination; using it merely to remove weakness is rather excessive, especially since many monsters that can weaken the player can easily reapply the status.
