Devised by a priest of Beshaba during the Time of Troubles, this spell can transform a contingent of hardened, battle-ready soldiers into the equivalent of wimpering little girls. Some wizards have allegedly tried to formulate a reversed-version of this spell to transform wimpering little girls into hardened, battle-ready soldiers.

Upon completion of this spell, a heavy mental fog settles on all who fail to make a saving throw at -2 in the area of effect. This affects friends and foes alike. Only the caster can pierce this delusion of feebleness. Affected creatures have their strength reduced to 3, suddenly finding their equipment to be an insupportable burden. The spell may prove devastating, reducing the strongest creatures to weak prey.
