How to Use Vile Clutch?
I'd love to hear other situations to use this spell in. I'm gathering that it is quite effective used purely for damage, since recent commits have nerfed that. Allies are not affected, does the constriction increase your allies' effectiveness or is that just so the spell isn't a PITA for necromancers to use?
I wish there was an icon that indicated whether a monster is constricted by it or free to move. Does this sort of constricted even prevent movement at all? I would see messages that a monster had broken free, but which of the five ugly things did it was not readily apparent. I am thinking now, would Ctrl-X tell me this (alas the character is gone--it was a meat-space casualty when the flash drive it was on got damaged beyond my soldering skills).
