Donut's convoluted mass-charm spell — five-minute cast, tiny odds, huge potential — that turns enemies against each other.
Minion Army is a spell Princess-Donut learned from a first-floor Beguiler Box tome she couldn't cast until her spell points finally hit the 50 cost (reaching 52 via her buffed intelligence). Cast on a group of intelligent mobs, some turn and fight for her — but the specifics are brutal: a five-minute casting time that freezes her in place, a five-hour cooldown, and at level one only a 2% chance per mob to flip, over a 30-meter radius that scales up dramatically with her Charisma. Mordecai insisted it can be a great spell in the right rare circumstances (and is nearly impossible to train), while Carl warns her never to cast it unprompted — five frozen minutes for a 2% flip is usually suicide.
Donut is itching to try it.
Donut's high-risk, high-ceiling mass-charm spell, kept in reserve for the right moment.
