Notes[]

  • This skill is ineffective by itself. With only a 25% miss rate, the opponent would have to attack an average of 20 times just to recover the energy cost, at 12+ Inspiration Magic. Therefore, it would be wise to combine it with blindness, blocking, or additional accuracy-reducing hexes like Blurred Vision to both increase the chance to missing and thereby increase the energy gained.
  • This skill can be used to offset the energy loss of Distortion. Depending on your Inspiration magic attribute, this can result in gained energy.
