Description
Causes some opponents to retreat

Fear was an early combat spell. It became available at level 12 EvilMagic, and consumed 1 water rune and 3 mind runes when cast. It was removed after the update New magic system online!

It caused a monster currently engaged in combat to retreat. This effect was commonly exploited to steal monsters from players training melee, allowing the person who cast the spell to receive all of the experience and loot from a monster with already decreased hits.
