Understood. It is worth noting, however, that this spell used in combat situations has a high likelihood incurring a DX penalty on weapon attacks. You are kind of getting a twofer in some situations; not only do you reduce the target's ability to succeed on ST rolls, you may very well also get a major benefit of the Clumsiness spell as well.
