Tips & Tricks

  • A spellcaster meeting an eye of draining may wish to immediately cast his most powerful spells in an attempt to quickly overwhelm it. The MP would be devoured anyway, so there's no sense in being frugal.
  • While largely harmless for melee-based characters, remember to re-assess the priority in which you target them should you find such a character relying upon an amulet of guardian spirit.
