Description
Confuse is a directed spell that can be used by any monster of at least level 3 with the ability to cast clerical spells.[1] As indicated by its name and code, the spell confuses the hero when cast even if they are already confused, with the (additional) duration being equal to the caster's level and divided in half if the hero has half spell damage.[2][3] Magic resistance completely blocks the effects of the spell.[4]
