Disrupting Ray may be cast on same stack repeatedly, making it the only cumulative spell in {{homm3}}. The effect of each cast stays until combat ends. It is immune to [[dispel]]/[[cure]], and even if the target was killed and resurrected the disrupting ray effect still remains. Usually, the overall effect is limited by zero defense level, but if the target's defense was buffed by spells or a defensive stance, it will go negative after the buffs expire.

{{user commentary|
The advantage of this spell is that effects are cumulative over the duration of the first casting, for as many times as you can cast it.  The most typical use is on a [[Blind]]ed stack, dropping defense down to zero before all friendly troops attack, making for an easy and quick kill of an otherwise tough opponent.
