I don't know if this is noted elsewhere or if anyone else has found this. But I have stumbled upon a little trick that could help much in Heart of Fury. Got a foe that just seem to resist all your damage, got good saves and shrugging off your spells(Death in particular)! Hack away at it with it Saga of the Wandering Sky and try again!

Saga of the Wandering Sky is a +5 greatsword brought from Deiden(or whatever her name is, the merchant in Targos) for about 147,000(least that is what it cost me). It cast Doom on each hit, I don't know if it is SUPPOSE to do this, but I have noticed that the penalty to Saves(not sure on AB, but probably) stacks. As displayed here

(Damn...I guess I can't post pictures...)
now I am unsure on how long the penalty last but that reduced the skeletons Saves by a good 8-10. Which can make a big difference if you got the fighter focused on one big baddy and then you try to Finger it again(no dirty thoughts here! =P). Saved and helped me quite a few times(also works works well with Greater Malison, Prayer and Recitation[and if you feel like it Emotion: Despair]).
