Human worshipers of the Great Old One Yig, Serpent Men sorcerers, and their multiple mix-blood offspring, have developed spells and reflective of their god. These arcane arts are never taught to outsiders, and should an infidel learn of them they’ll be relentlessly pursued by the faithful until they are forever silenced. Here are three spells sacred to the Cultists of Yig:
Kiss of Death
Cost: 8 Magic points (varies), 2 POW, 1D6 Sanity Points
Casting Time: 1 round
This spell temporarily turns the caster’s saliva into a powerful neuro-toxin. The caster is, of course, immune to their own venom. However, should they kiss the lips of a victim while this spell is active that the deadly poison is transferred to the target. Once cast the spell lasts for three combat rounds, +1 round per additional Magic Point infused into it when performed. During this time the caster’s saliva becomes a deadly poison. This toxin can be transferred from the casters saliva to the victim through skin of the target’s lips, tongue and mouth. Those unwilling to be kissed can resist, forcing the caster to make a grapple attack. Once a single poisoned kiss is delivered the enchantment ends. Those falling victim to this spell receive a Deadly Poison attack for 2D10, with an extreme CON check reducing this damage by half. The damage is inflicted over three rounds, the first round the victim feels a tingle turning into a burning sensation (no damage), followed by severe muscle cramps (50% of damage on round two), paralysis, and ultimately asphyxiation as their diaphragm seizes up (remaining 50% of damage on rounds three).
