Anesthesia

Anesthesia is a Plague Doctor class spell that plunges the target into a deep, unnatural sleep from which they cannot wake even when damaged.

Anesthesia induces a deep, unnatural sleep in your target. Even the most violent attacks won't wake them from this slumber. The target feels no pain and won't wake up from attacks, but still takes damage.
