To recover from Feeblemindness,

- you can cast Gift of Health (Global Enchanment, N5 & Enchantment5), which can restore various Affliction
- you can forge a Chalice (3N2S & Con8), and give it to your pretender. The Chalice has a chance of healing Afflictions every turn, so just keep it on for a while
- I believe you can also cast ritual spell Gift of Reason (N4 & Thaumaturgy4) on your Pretender
- Arco Priestess and an Tien Chi Hero are also capable of healing Afflication. If you aren't playing one of these guys, probably no luck unless you can charm them (if you mind enslave them, they will need to be Gift of Reason first to be able to heal I think, thus makes the point moot)
- You can Wish it away, but if you can cast Wish spell, you have all the above cheaper means

As you can see, all the above cost gems and researchs, as well as having mages capable of casting them.

- There is another poor man's way, but not guarrantied to work and/or not make things worth. That is, get you Pretender killed, and recall him/her/it back. A recalled Pretender has chance of healing some or all of acquired Afflictions.

Obviously this not the best nor a desirable way. But sometimes a Crippled + Blind + Never Healing Pretender can be more useful than a Feebleminded one, especially if he/she/it has good research ability. (Kind of a funny mental image of a blinded/limbless researcher. Now only if he/she/it was also deaf and otherwise lack ways to communicate with others...) Anyhow, don't do this unless you ABSOLUTELY have to get rid of the feeblemindedness and have no other ways.
