Ray of enfeeblement Ray of enfeeblement was a necromantic spell learned by some inexperienced wizard s , particularly those curious as to the power of necromancy and shadow magic . When " ray of enfeeblement " was cast , a stream of green mist sprayed from the wizard ' s curled finger or implement towards a creature within fifty feet , sapping away their strength in a direct attack upon the creature ' s soul . The spell drained the mental faculties of a wizard somewhat and the wizard required a short rest before they could cast the spell again . " Ray of enfeeblement " , prior to the Spellplague , was formerly available to sorcerer s as well as wizards , and like all spells , aside from invocation s , its power flowed through the Weave and was subject to the Mystra s ' rulings . As a result , " ray of enfeeblement " was only castable as many times per day as the sorcerer or wizard had prepared it . During this time " ray of enfeeblement " did the animus of its target alone , rather than the body as well , but it grew the spell ' s potency , like many of the time , was directly proportional to the skill and experience of the caster , making it deadly even as a weapon for extremely powerful wizards .

Hands of Ihbar Hands of Ihbar , also known , particularly in the past , as chilling tentacles , is a spell used by warlock s , most often those who specialize in pacts with aberration s . When " hands of Ihbar " , which draws on the dark power of the star Ihbar , is cast , its caster summons frigid tentacles to a spot occupied by a creature within fifty feet . These tentacles seem to peel out of the creature themselves , causing them vast amounts of pain and slowing their movement with their chilling power , which reduces the blood flow of any living creature within the spell ' s grasps . The effect of the spell is momentary in length and is powered largely by the warlock ' s strength of personality . Though resistance to the effects of winter and cold are generally less injured by the spell , warlocks of the star pact know how to reduce the effectiveness of this resistance , their skill in doing so dependent upon their experience . Prior to the Spellplague , " hands of Ihbar " , then known more commonly as " chilling tentacles " was a substantially more powerful spell , which could only be gained through enormous growth in power on the part of its caster . " Chilling tentacles " was also longer lasting , and the exact duration of the spell depended largely on how powerful and experienced the warlock using it was . Like all warlock invocation of the time , the spell was also instantly recharged and could be cast at - will .
