Immunity[edit]
Anybody noticed that gloom wraiths are immune to this spell? It was possibly done on purpose by Bethesda, because gloom wraiths are missing the knocked-out animation, so a gloom wraith whose fatigue is lowered to 0 would look weird. You can check their fatigue using "getav fatigue" in the console. The number doesn't change after casting weakness to magic followed by drain fatigue. So if you want to incapacitate a gloom wraith, use paralysis. It's more expensive, of course, but at least they are not immune to it. WRFan 08:09, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
- This is something that counts for all Ethereal creatures. They show no special properties in the CS. I suspect this may be because they appear to have not ragdoll models, and thus can't be thrown around by knockdowns and the likes. Why this results in never being able to their Fatigue I don't know. Perhaps it's a built in countermeasure as Bethesda was aware of this? Ethereal creatures are not immune to the paralyzing attacks of weapons, as that is just done by a special spell. --Timenn-<talk> 16:15, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
