Version 0.28: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Hexes are spells that affect things and monsters (usually negatively). They mostly ignore dealing direct damage in favour of inflicting debilitating status effects on enemies. Many effects are resisted by willpower, which can be reduced by a scroll of vulnerability or an orb of guile.
