Oi! Who's being mean to my elephants?

While accompanying my priestesses on ward rounds recently, I discovered to my dismay that well over 50% of our elephants had had both eyes poked out. Naturally we were all distressed about this - Elephants are, after all, our friends.

Are some battle aflictions more common than others, or is there some sneaky magical trick I should be looking out for?

I can see a priestess with a gleam in her eye and a nasty looking sacrificial dagger in her hand. She wants to know the answer, and I think there could be trouble when we find the culprit...

You probably ran into some of Machakan mages. Machaka starts with Blindness spell.

I've only been fighting Indies and Abysia.

Other people can learn blindness, too.

Was it simply the Blindness affliction, or was it Lost one eye and Lost the other eye too?

If it's just Blindness, that's probably from the Blindness spell.

If it's the second, then there are two or more magic items which target eyes (eye shield, and I think a ranged weapon, and maybe some others).

It was "Lost one eye and lost the other eye too."

I'll have to look out for the nasty magic items.
