Skill type. A hex spell is a spell that bestows a negative effect on a foe for a period of time. See the full list of hex spells.
Hexes can be easily noticed by the dark cloudy ring that orbits the legs of the player affected by the Hex along with the symbol of the profession by whom it was cast. It is also visible by a purple arrow pointing downwards on the hexed target's health bar.

[edit] Characteristics
- Always has a duration.
- Always has at least one of initial, continuous, or end effects.
- Always target foes.
- As a rule with one exception, all hexes require energy to activate.
- As a rule with one exception, all hexes have a casting time.
- May have an additional cost, such as sacrifice or exhaustion.
- Has an aftercast delay.
[edit] Notes
- There are many skills that can remove hexes.
- Weapons can be upgraded to deal up to an additional 15% more damage towards hexed foes, or deal up to 20% more damage while the wielder is hexed.
- The warrior's Lieutenant's insignia reduces the duration of hexes by 20%.
- It is sometimes safer to have another person in your party that can remove the hexes for you, as hexes triggered by skill use, such as Diversion and Backfire, will be triggered before the hex removal effect.
[edit] Trivia
- The warrior, ranger, paragon and dervish are the professions who do not have hex spells in their skill listings.
