[edit] Description

Weaken descreases the damage enemy monsters inflict on the player. This skill is generally viewed as weak, offering little compared to Decrepify further down the skill tree.

[edit] Lore

This bane allows the Necromancer to sap the strength from his enemy. Enemies are enfeebled to the point that their blows become highly ineffective. Decreases the damage the target can do.^[1]
