Afflicts nearby foes with supernatural anguish, causing all damage they deal to rebound on them for the duration of the effect. Strong-willed foes can resist the necromantic visions of pain and suffering, and mindless creatures are unaffected.

Anguish is a Level 4 Hexes/Necromancy spell. Enemies within line of sight check willpower. Affected enemies take HP damage equal to whatever their attacks deal. This damage cannot be resisted. This spell will never affect mindless monsters.

Tips & Tricks

  • Anguished monsters don't have to hit you! They'll take damage, from, say, attacking your derived undead - while you remain safe and sound.
    • This spell therefore snowballs easily with necromantic ally creation spells such as Death Channel, as enemies striking allied spectral things will be killed by Anguish, turning into spectral things themselves and letting themselves be hit by more Anguished enemies.
  • Anguish is useful for fragile characters threatened by low HP, high ranged damage enemies such as orc priests, steam dragons or centaur warriors. Turning the very high damage output of these threats against themselves will swiftly take them down.
  • Scrolls of vulnerability pair well with this spell, allowing the hexing of notoriously lethal threats such as Mennas.
