[[Agony]] is a level 5 [[Necromancy]] spell which functions as a single-target [[torment]], cutting the target's [[HP]] in half. It cannot deal lethal damage, but it can soften up powerful, uninjured targets like [[hydra]]s or [[giant]]s to make them more manageable. Like torment, it is worthless against demons, plants, and the undead; unlike torment, it is completely nullified by any degree of [[life protection]]. While it never misses, it can be resisted with high [[magic resistance]].

Version 0.31: This article is up to date for the latest stable release of Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup.
Cuts the health of a target creature in half. This damage is never directly lethal.

Agony is a monster-only spell which attempts to inflict torment on a single target in LOS, requiring line of fire. If it succeeds a willpower check, it cuts their current HP by half. As with regular torment, negative energy resistance provides protection (players: -5% HP per rN+), as well as torment resistance.


Players can cast an analogous spell, Curse of Agony. Player ghosts with Curse of Agony get this spell instead.
