This spell gives the creature a -1 penalty to saving throws against one type of special attack (paralyzation/poison/death magic, rod/wand/staff, breath weapon, etc.). If the creature fails a saving throw vs. spell, roll percentile dice and consult the table to find which type of saving throw is affected. The caster can change the percentile roll by ±1% per experience level, exerting some control over the category affected. The penalty is permanent, although it can be negated by means of a limited wish or wish. A remove curse cast by a spellcaster of equal or higher level is also effective. The creature's initial saving throw against this spell is not affected by any penalty the spell might inflict. Multiple castings of this spell can affect a single saving throw up to -1 per five levels of the caster (-2 at 12th level, -3 at 15th, -4 at 20th, and so on).
Notes: Very rare spell. Known to be in Prismal's Pocket Library. Vol. IX.
