Image Magic II

Spell, Low Magic, level 2

Using an image, the caster cures one person of a disease; reversed, it inflicts a disease instead.

Also called Image-Magic II

From the book

Working through an image made as for Image Magic I, the caster cures one disease in one individual. The spell can also be turned around to give someone any disease the caster chooses; that use still needs an image, and the intended victim may save vs Will to escape it.

A scene

The trader from Tartessos short-weighted the ivory and laughed about it, and the shaman of the Avakuli does not forget such things. That night, in a hut that smells of smoke and blood, he binds a lock of the trader's hair to a figure carved from soft wood and whispers to it about the gray fever of the river flats. Two days later, far downriver, the trader wakes shaking and sweating on the deck of his boat. He will reach Tartessos alive, perhaps, but he will be a long time recovering.
