- 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.
- You gain 1 permanent spellstrained level each day you fail your Fortitude save, which are removed together with the disease.
Sometimes, when a spellcaster is Disintegrated, it leaves behind a green cloud of magic gas that spreads Caster's Headache; the most common start of a Caster's Headache outbreak is after carriers who are sick transmit it to others by just being near them.
