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 Blinded stack, dropping defense down to zero before all friendly troops attack, making for an easy and quick kill of an otherwise tough opponent.

It is also impossible to dispel/cure. The effects stay until combat ends. This includes killing and resurrecting the stack, a method which is capable of getting rid of any other conditions.
