fatal

De Medicamentis
Level: 6
Magic Points: 48
Discipline: Water
Range: Touch
Area: 1 diseased, unhealthy, or wounded creature
Duration: Permanent
Reference: Arcana Mundi, p. 72
Chant: Go away, no matter whether you originated
today or earlier: this disease, this illness, this
pain, this swelling, this redness, this goiter,
these tonsils, this abscess, this tumor, these
glands and the little glands I call forth, I lead
forth, through this spell, from these limbs
and bones.
Ingredients: None
Ritual: Recite the chant while sober and touching
the relevant part of the body with 3 fingers:
thumb, middle finger, and ring finger; the
other 2 are stretched out.
Description: Casting this spell cures a disease, heals
a wound, or brings a creature back to health.
The power of this spell is its diversity of
applications and its disregard for LP. Regardless
of the points considered, it is healed
or restored in 1 creature. The target creature
must be touched successfully. If the
target creature resists being touched, then
the caster must make a Brawling skill check
(see Chap. 8: Skills).
Decortication
Level: 4
Magic Points: 32
Discipline: Earth
Range: Direct line of sight
Area: 1 square foot of flesh per level of the caster
Duration: Instantaneous
Chant: See Chapter 11: Magic
Ingredients: See Chapter 11: Magic
Ritual: See Chapter 11: Magic
Description: Casting this spell causes the skin of a
target creature seen by the caster during casting
to be peeled from their body. The skin
begins peeling at 1d4 random locations on
their body, determined by the Aedile. The
Aedile must estimate the percentage of skin
that has been peeled. This equals the percentage
of LP suffered in damage.
Further, unless bandaged immediately,
the skinned victim will lose a number
of LP per round equal to the estimated percentage
above due to blood loss.
If the victim survives being skinned
alive, the skinned portions of their body will
feel no pain, since nerve endings are in the
flesh.
