Saving Throw: Fortitude negates
Spell Resistance: Yes

The caster exhales a cloud of fungal spores. The victim must make a Fortitude save to avoid the spell's effects. In 1d6 hours after a failed saving throw, those affected experience an itching, burning sensation and lose 1 temporary point of Strength and Constitution per hour. Purplish-black fungus oozes from the victims' eyes and nose, and their skin takes on a sickly pallor. Anyone who touches one of the hosts must make a Fortitude save (DC 15) or also become infected. While infected, the hosts emit a foul odor that attracts predators and causes them to attack him immediately with a +1 bonus to their attack rolls.

A cure disease spell will end the infestation if the victims have lost less than half of their Constitution. After the host has lost more than half, a cure disease will not work unless it is cast immediately after a regeneration spell.
