Brain Feed

Version 0.14: 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 must overcome your magic resistance to affect you. Although this is normally just a nuisance attack, character builds with very low intelligence are at risk of stat zero, 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:

• w Brain worm
• G Giant orange brain
• 3 Neqoxec
• @ Norris
