You swing your sword and it just goes over your foe's head. You try to remember what's so special about spectres, you know you know it, it's just not coming to you. That fireball catches you when you know you should've just dodged it. It's a whole lot of things you should've been able to do but now just can't quite manage.

I remember an old Forgotten Realms novel where one of the characters had been hit with some level draining stuff (this was back in the old days of actually losing *levels*), and it was described as her having been shocked into a loss of confidence. She was nervous, suffering from the jitters when she tried to do something, because her experience had so shaken her to her very core.
It wasn't a bad way of looking at it.
