The spell inflicts any one target with any one of the following diseases:
Rank DISEASE
1-5 Measles
6-10 Consumption
11-15 Typhoid
16-18 Bubonic Plague
19+ Pneumonic Plague
The target will not die of the disease, but will become habitually ill and all those who come in contact with him (except the mage who cast the spell) will contract a potentially fatal dose from him. In effect, the target becomes a "carrier".
Those who are immune to normal disease are immune to this spell. |
