Contagion: Blinding Sickness

Contagion: Blinding Sickness is a level 5 necromancy spell. This spell is a variation of the Level 5 Necromancy Spell, Contagion. It allows spellcasters to Poison an enemy, with the possibility of the affliction progressing into a Disease which saps target's Wisdom.

Description

Poison a target and possibly afflict them with a Disease. When cast, the target receives Contagion Poisoned (Stage 1):
