---------------------------------------------------------------------- Spell : Virulence Class : Dracolich Cost : 20 Skill Type : Active Casting time : 1 round Syntax : cast virulence [<target>] Examples : cast virulence cast virulence teppic Death always wears a grin on its face. By inflicting this spell on a hapless victim, the Dracolich opens up that target to the malignant wiles of a catastrophic ending. Virulence either worsens an existing damage vulnerability of its target or adds a random new one if none previously existed. While under the curse of this spell, the target will find that incoming damage is sometimes converted into a random type among those that he or she is most vulnerable to. In the case where the victim is exceptionally close to dying, incoming damage might even become vorpal. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See also: help phylactery
