Editing Damage (section)

==== Mind spells - variable R<sub>7</sub> ====
The spell [[Blind]] is deactivated when a blinded creature stack is attacked. Any retaliation against this attack will not be at full strength. It will be at only 50% strength (R<small>7</small> = 0.50) when Blind is cast with basic or no proficiency, and at 25% (R<small>7</small> = 0.25) when cast with advanced proficiency. An attack that deactivates expert Blind cannot be retaliated against, but the targeted creature stack does retain its ability to retaliate against another attack in that same combat round. [[Unicorn]]s and [[War Unicorn]]s cast Blind with basic proficiency, unless the battle takes place on [[Magic Plains]]. 

Additionally, when [[Forgetfulness]] cast with basic or no proficiency, it causes half of an enemy creature stack to forget to use its ranged attack, effectively halving its ranged damage (R<small>7</small> = 0.50). Due to a bug, shooter's melee attack damage, affected by Forgetfulness, is also decreased by half (R<small>7</small> = 0.50) ''(fixed in {{hota}}{{-wh}})''.
