The practitioner of Pestilence is armed where ever they may walk, for their weapons are not of steel or bronze but of chitin and plague. In the darkness the chittering nightmares wait, enthralled to the will of their benefactor. When the skies turn black and the myriad eyes open, one thing can be certain: it is time to feast and there is enough for all. | The practitioner of Pestilence is armed where ever they may walk, for their weapons are not of steel or bronze but of chitin and plague.

|detail= | |detail=The arcane plagues are dangerous in the singular, but it is when they interact that they truly become deadly. Various plagues react to one another when coaxed to do so via higher sorcery, and the interactions are listed below:<p>Pyramides + Flushings = Healthleech.<br>Pyramides + Rebbies = Slickness.<br>Flushings + Rebbies = Darkshade.<br>Flushings + Sandfever = Anorexia.<br>Mycalium + Sandfever = Dizziness if not present, then stupidity if not present, or blackout if both are present.<br>Mycalium + Sandfever + Rebbies = Peace.<p>These conditionals do stack with one another, and you may only invoke this act of higher sorcery a subsequent time after some delay. This working of higher sorcery can be wielded against anyone in the local area.</p> | ||
