Mystical Plague: Difference between revisions

== Tabletop Games ==

** The Judges Guild adventure "Verbosh" had a new spell called "Plague" which causes 20-70% of the population in a 1 mile square area to be incapacitated for 1–4 weeks as well as killing many of them.

** The 2E supplement ''Tome of Magic''. The 7th level priest spell Breath of Death (reversed Breath of Life) affects an entire community. Anyone who fails a saving throw vs. death magic is infected with a disease that is fatal in 1–6 weeks.

*** 1370 - "Burning Plague" in Almraiven, with mists causing people to sponaneously combust; though it's not clear whether it truly propagated like a plague.

* ''[[Warhammer Fantasy Battle]]'': Nurgle mages get these kinds of spells, as do the Skaven.

* ''[[Exalted]]'' features, among many others, the Great Contagion. Dug out of a [[Eldritch Location|dimensional nexus that instills insanity in all those who view it without proper protection]] by one of the Deathlords, it killed about 90% of Creation on the first go. The only thing that stopped it from finishing the job was one of the other Deathlords inviting [[The Fair Folk]] in to finish the job; the chaotic energies of the Wyld that came with the invasion actually ''bolstered'' the immunities of the survivors.

** To clarify; not 90% of Creation's people. 90% of ''everything''. Plants, animals, spirits, gods... anything that could basically constitute "alive" in Creation was fair game. On top of that, the disease was so infectious that ''mystically observing it'' was capable of contracting it.
