Summary0000684: Curse spell decreases damage to 1
DescriptionNot sure if in all situations, but at least in the following scenario: Take Septienna in the map from 0000570 and attack Wraiths. If you're lucky and your Dread Knight casts Curse with the attack (bug 0000180), the enemy Wraiths will only deal 1 damage from then on (see screenshot).
Additional InformationPossibly related (or at least similar) to 0000147.

From Tribute to strategists:

Curse spell description incorrectly states that it reduces base damage to:
[(80% of minimum damage) – 1]. It actually reduces it to (minimum damage - 1), down to a minimum of 1.

Are you sure wraiths couldn't do as little as 1 damage?

Wraiths did do as little as 1 damage (as seen on screenshot and report summary). But they should do more. ;) [EDIT: disregard this line; I see now you were referring to OH3]

Let's take it in order:

> 1st, Wraiths should be immune to Curse, but that's 0000180 :p

> 2nd, as per Tribute to Strategists, Curse should reduce Base Damage to (minimum damage - 1). For Wraiths, which have Damage 3 - 5, that is (3 - 1) = 2.
Note: The "down to a minimum of 1" doesn't refer to the minimum (base or total) damage for all creatures, but to the minimum value we can get by applying the (minimum damage - 1) formula. So it basically means that if creature's minimum damage is 1 (e.g.: Peasants), Curse should not reduce it to 0.

> 3rd: a Wraith's Total Damage should be Base Damage * (1 + bonuses) * (1 - reduction a) * (1 - reduction b) * ..., so, if you take the map I specified, with Dread Knight Defense 19 vs Wraith Attack 8, you get Total Damage = 2 * (1 + 0) * (1 - 0.025*(19-8)) = 2 * 1 * (1 - 0.275) = 2 * 0.725 = 1.45

> 4th: a Wraith's Total Damage of 1.45 still needs to be multiplied with the number of Wraiths in stack, that is 5 in the screenshot above, so they should inflict 5 * 1.45 = [7.25] = 7 Damage to my Dread Knight.
Note: Tribute to Strategists mentions that "damage is rounded down", however it doesn't specifically say if it's the Total Damage per creature in stack (1.45 above), or per stack as a whole (7.25). I incline to believe it's the latter, but even if it's the former, Wraiths should still inflict 5 Damage to my Dread Knight, but that was not the case.
