Degenerate is a magic spell in Vagrant Story. It is one of Sorcery Spells that Ashley Riot learns from a Grimoire. Ashley learns Degenerate from the Grimoire Debile, dropped by the Minotaur at the Wine Cellar. Degenerate is a stats-modifying spell, as casting it decreases the strength of the player character by 1/10 of his base STR value. The spell costs 7 MP and induces the status STR-DOWN. In Battle Mode, when casting the spell, the range shape is spheroid and it affects a single target. Degenerate can also be affected by equipping Gems.
