Beguiling: ability that forces a creature to become the caster's companion;
Siphon Vim: transfers health from a creature to the caster for several turns.

I got attacked by the puma and tried to fight back with Siphon Vim but quickly realized I'm not gonna win so I tried to beguile it and sure enough it worked.

But then it just kept losing health until it died :c

I don’t think I’d emotionally survive permadeath 20 hours into a run.

For me even 3-6 hours needed for DCSS runs is too much. I can't imagine going for hours and hours in a permadeath game - especially a game as unfair as CoQ!
