*Use with skills which give conditions to the enemy, but make sure that the condition lasts for a very short time. This can be particularly effective against bosses with [[natural resistance]]. [[Virulence]] is perhaps the most devastating partner spell to use, especially if the linked attribute is low. [[Burning]] is often equally popular, especially from spells such as [[Rodgort's Invocation]] or [[Immolate]]. Fragility will double the damage caused by three seconds of burning (at 16 Illusion). [[Mark of Rodgort]] is a poor choice, however, as the burning often lasts for the full duration of the hex if used with a spammable fire damage skill or fire weapon attack.

*Synergizes very well with [[Incendiary Arrows]] at 11 Wilderness Survival or lower -- as the burning will only last 2 seconds, it will stop before the next attack hits, resulting in Fragility triggering twice per attack.
 
 
*Fragility will only trigger on the ''first'' instance of a condition. E.g., repeatedly attacking a target while using the preparation [[Apply Poison]] will not trigger Fragility on each successive hit. (Unless the target is a dervish with [[Avatar of Melandru]])
