Miserable Pity ***

Stops enemies from attacking you and the only way to end this affect (duration aside) is to attack. Hexes, battlefield control, debuffing, buffing, and summoning can all still be cast.

How is it that you can use hexes and it is not considered attack?

Some spell descriptions refer to attacking. All

offensive combat actions, even those that don’t damage
opponents, are considered attacks. Attempts to channel
energy count as attacks if it would harm any creatures
in the area. All spells that opponents resist with saving
throws, that deal damage, or that otherwise harm or
hamper subjects are attacks. Spells that summon monsters
or other allies are not attacks because the spells themselves
don’t harm anyone.
