Brain Feed
Version 0.13: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
Brain Feed is a monster-only spell which attempts to inflict 1d3 points of temporary intelligence damage on your character. It uses smite-targeting, but does not always succeed. Although this is normally just a nuisance attack, character builds with very low intelligence are at risk of stat death, and deep dwarves and mummies should try to avoid taking stat damage whenever possible. A ring of sustain abilities will greatly reduce the danger of these attacks.
The following enemies cast Brain Feed:
3 Neqoxec
V Jory
