Malaise

SilentSkillRare

Enemy loses X Strength. Apply X Weak.
Exhaust.

Effect: you choose X Energy and the enemy loses X Strength and gains X Weak, then the card Exhausts.
Duration: the Strength loss is applied as negative Strength, not a temporary drain, so it lasts the whole fight and can push an enemy below zero.
Upgrade: the code adds 1 after X is resolved, so both amounts are X+1 and playing it for 0 Energy still costs the enemy 1 Strength and 1 Weak.
Artifact: the two debuffs are applied one after the other, so Artifact eats them separately.
