say Now I'm going to fight another goblin and focus a little more on the mental afflictions this time so you can actually see them in action. Mindhaze and Daydreams the afflictions being used only have a chance to mess up the enemy and we got unlucky on the first go. I am also using ignorance in my spells to give the mob a chance to ignore it's AI and lash out with a random attack, this is a deviation from the exact effect of reducing skill ranks it has on players to make it more viable in a bashing scenario.
