Weaken Debuff

How it's made

Source

a magical energy drain modelled as a sagging synthetic tone, like a held note losing pressure. A sine fundamental plus a slightly detuned triangle pair (±0.6 %) carry the pitch; a soft saw adds body early on.

Body

the pitch glides down about 1.4 octaves (≈ 520 Hz to 200 Hz) on an exponential curve. A tremolo-vibrato warble of 7 Hz slowing to 3.5 Hz and deepening from ±1.5 % to ±5 % reads as the strength wobbling away. A low-pass closes from 3.2 kHz to 380 Hz so upper partials vanish first and the end is dull.

Air

a band-passed pink-noise breath (1.8 kHz sweeping to 400 Hz, Q 1.2) sits under the tone and fades first, the hiss of escaping energy; a 140 to 80 Hz sine thump on the onset gives the hit some weight.

Envelope

12 ms attack, level held for about 0.25 s, then a smooth decay to silence at about 1.15 s; the amplitude dips with the warble (tremolo 10 % to 30 %) so the tone deflates rather than stops.

Variation

`rng` offsets the start pitch by ±1.5 % and the warble phase; presets change the drop, warble speed and darkness (heavy curse, flutter, draining hiss).
