Green Decay
• Cost: 15 magic points; 10 POW; 2D8 Sanity points
• Casting time: 1 day
A curse that turns an individual into a green pile of mold. A
day must be spent focusing energy upon the intended target of
the spell and reciting an incantation to Gla’aki. In the next 24
hours the caster must personally give a green leaf to the target.
At dawn on the following day, for the spell to take effect, an
opposed POW roll must be made between the caster and
target: if the caster is successful, the green decay has begun.
Over the next seven days the target effectively turns into
a green mold. At first, green blotches appear on the skin,
which later begin to grow mold-like hairs. As the spell
progresses, more and more of the skin grows green and the
skin rots. In tandem, the target’s organs also begin to rot
(causing pain, foul smells, and other unpleasantness). By the
sixth day the target’s mental facilities rapidly deteriorate,
and movement becomes impossible. The only known cure is
to find and kill the caster, which reverses the spell’s effects.
The only written transcriptions of this hideous spell are
said to found within the Book of Eibon and the Revelations of Gla’aki.
