Caster's Headache
Infection: Inhaled1
DC: 16
Incubation : 1 day
Damage : Special2

  1. Just being within 5 ft. of a creature who is sick with Caster's Headache for more than a minute exposes you to the disease, unless extreme wind conditions favor you.
  2. You gain 1 permanent spellstrained level each day you fail your Fortitude save, which are removed together with the disease.
