Beguiling: ability that forces a creature to become the caster's companion;
Siphon Vim: transfers health from a creature to the caster for several turns.

I got attacked by the puma and tried to fight back with Siphon Vim but quickly realized I'm not gonna win so I tried to beguile it and sure enough it worked.

But then it just kept losing health until it died :c

Had such an unhealthy obsession with this game at it's release. I was enamoured with it and would love to make some progression on it one day... funny how quickly you go from being sure "this is the run" to dying in that goddamn Rainbow Wood or Moon Stair.

The only constant of every roguelike is that when your run seems to go well prepare for the worst.
