   * **Losing an Eye**, or vision from that eye, sucks. The loss of depth perception comes with a -2 penalty to Attack Skill and Defence Skill, and a -3 penalty to Precision. This stacks, but only as many times as the person has eyes; once they are out of eyes, they are Blind. If a creature has additional eyes for some reason, they can't possibly lose more stats from missing eyes than what they would lack through Blindness.   * **Losing an Eye**, or vision from that eye, sucks.

   * Speaking of, __**Blindness**__ from either brain damage or an unfortunate strike across the face comes with a -9 penalty to Attack Skill, Defence Skill, and Precision. A Blind mage can still engage in magical [[Research]], somehow, but certain magic is forbidden to them; ??The Eyes of God??, for example.   * Speaking of, __**Blindness**__ from either brain damage or an unfortunate strike across the face comes with a -9 penalty to Attack Skill, Defence Skill, and Precision.

-  * **Muteness** from brain damage (or a damaged tongue) reduces all of a commander's Leadership scores by 75%, and applies a negative "pathboost" penalty to each of their paths; this "boost" is half of their skill in each path, rounded up. If the ability to speak is restored, the old magic skill is restored.+  * **Muteness** from brain damage (or a damaged tongue) reduces all of a commander's Leadership scores by 75%, and applies a negative "pathboost" penalty to each of their [[magic]] paths; this "boost" is half of their skill in each path, rounded up.

   * __**Dementia**__, or absentmindedness, weakens the subject's mind and their connection to things as they are. The demented fellow has a -2 penalty to [[Magic Resistance]], both their Leadership and their Research ability **reduced by 50%** (indicating time wasted staring at nothing), and occasionally waste their time in battle to stare at nothing.   * __**Dementia**__, or absentmindedness, weakens the subject's mind and their connection to things as they are.

   * To be "__**Feebleminded**__" is to suffer either serious brain damage or a severe cut in one's sense of self, such that **spellcasting is impossible**. Becoming feebleminded also breaks whatever Global Enchantments or Battlefield Enchantments you were upholding. Other effects include -5 Magic Resistance and -1 penalties to Attack Skill, Defence Skill, and Precision.   * To be "__**Feebleminded**__" is to suffer either serious brain damage or a severe cut in one's sense of self, such that **spellcasting is impossible**.
