Action “Aim to upgrade Illness to Curse”
To use this ability, you must have an “Illness” Magic weapon at the ready, and you must take the “Aim” action at a target. Exhaust this Gift. Your “Illness” weapon becomes a “Curse”.
As a Mystical, Magic Attack, you may curse a target. Normal Range penalties apply. Declare which curse you will use, and then roll your Will, Deceit, & 3d6 vs. the target’s defense. The defense varies depending on what curse you are using.
