Degenerate

Degenerate (ミゼラブルボディ) is a magic spell in Vagrant Story. It is one of Sorcery Spells that Ashley Riot learns from a Grimoire.

Ashley learns Herakles from the Grimoire Debile, dropped by the Minotaur at the Wine Cellar. Degenerator is a stats-modifying spell, as casting it decreases the strength of the player character by 1/10 of his base STR value. The spell costs 7 MP and induces the status STR-DOWN. In Battle Mode, when casting the spell, the range shape is spheroid and it affects a single target. Degenerate can also be affected by equipping Gems.

Its counterpart is Herakles, a Sorcery spell that cancels Degenerate's effect upon use. Degenerate is also removed whenever the player character exists from a room.
