For BoT, it is effective, but not as bad you might expect. You would think that the Baekomono mages would die like flies from it, since they are all 50 years over their expected lifespan. Since they all have death 2-3 though, the old age doesn't bother them too badly. I lost 2 to feeblemind, and another 4-5 with mute. About a third of the others were catching diseases, but since they have 20 HPs they get 3-4 turns before they actually die. So it does hurt, and after 10-15 turns it would hurt a lot, but it's not quite the mage-armageddon you would expect.
