Causes confusion in all who gaze upon the caster. “Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.” -KJV Bible, Genesis 11:7-8.

Mass Confusion is a monster-only Hexes spell that tries to confuse all opponents in the caster's line of sight. Unlike Alistair's Intoxication, it works on monsters that are non-natural, poison resistant, or of animal or lower intelligence. However, it is resistible by willpower, making it ineffective against many monsters in the later game.

The following enemies cast Mass Confusion:

• G Glowing orange brain
• A Mennas
• I Orange crystal statue
• i The Enchantress

The following enemies may be able to cast Mass Confusion, depending on their spell set:

• & Pandemonium lord (3.4% chance)

Although players can no longer cast this spell, the Hepliaklqana Hexer ancestor is still able.
