D&D Context
- Blasphemy is a level 7 cleric spell which causes various effects to creatures of non-evil allighnment. They either become paralyzed, weakened, dazed or possibly killed.
- The spell has affected the various order members in several ways. All the members of the order, minus Belkar, are dazed and weakened. This includes Blackwing and Mr. Scruffy. Minrah is Paralyzed, meaning her level is 5-9 less than Nale's. We have yet to see how this affected Sunny, or the Paladins. Because Serini is epic level, she is immune to the effects, and Belkar is evil, so he is also immune.
Trivia
- The title is a reference to particle physics. The weak interaction, also known as the weak nuclear force, is one of the four so-called 'fundamental interactions' or 'fundamental forces' in physics. The other three are the strong interaction/strong nuclear force, gravity, and electromagnetism.
