The weaken rune weakens the object in question. The effect of this rune is to cause a living creature to lose 1 attribute/10 Power. Non-living things will loose 1 AP/5 power. Note that if the entire creature is strengthened, then all 6 attributes split the attribute total. The resistance is the total of the attributes affected. Weaken is not permanent and will cease when the spell is let go. Break will not destroy something, only weaken it. A character weakened to 0 Dex will be unable to move, but will not die.

Marlo the priestess of Chalana Arroy, goddess of healing, needs to escape from the cluches of the Temple of Ty Kora Tek. She need to weaken the bars of her prison. She prays for a Weaken Iron spell. She needs no range, and radius, but she figures she needs an power of about 10. Chalana Arroy has a 2 for casting Weaken spells and Marlo has a Theology(Chalana Arroy) skill of 8, so her target number is 4 [10+2-8]. She roll her 8 dice, and gets 6 success. She has now cast a spell costing 6 MF and has 60 power. The bar has 8 AP, and resists with 43 power, resulting in a final power of 17. The bar will now have only 7 AP.

This is an Instantaneous Spell.
