Spell Effects & Mechanics

  • This spell causes the target to contract a deadly disease and immediately loses 1 Body Point and swings 1 point of damage less, then the character will begin to lose an additional 1 Body Point and swing 1 point of damage less every 10 minutes. The character will stop losing Body Points at 1 Body Point and will always swing a minimum of 1 point of damage. The effects of this spell are not cumulative with other Cause Disease spells and the Body Points lost due to this spell cannot be healed until the disease is cured.
  • For example, Orion has 10 Body Points and does 4 points of damage with his sword. He is hit with this spell and is not healed right away. After 30 minutes, he has 6 Body Points and swings 1 point of damage. After 80 minutes, he has 1 Body Point and would still swing for 1 point of damage.
  • The target will be at the Brink of Death at the end of 6 hours unless a Heal Body spell or similar effect is cast on them.
