Weak

Version 0.24: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Your physical attacks do less damage.

Weak is a status effect which reduces the target's melee damage output until sufficient time has passed: in essence an anti-might. It reduces monster melee damage by 33% (exactly cancelling out monster might), and player melee damage by 25%.

You can instantly cure yourself of weakness through use of Elyvilon's Purification ability.

Sources

• Your melee attacks may inflict weakness if you have the Black Mark demonspawn mutation.
• The monstrous version of Black Mark may inflict weakness; the only non-unique to have this ability is the black sun.
• An orange demon's sting inflicts weakness on the victim (negated by poison resistance).

History

• Prior to 0.15, Elyvilon could punish the player for killing an apis by inflicting irresistible but temporary weakness.
• This status effect was added in 0.13.
