A character that is '''diseased''' takes health damage per round. The amount of damage caused decreases each round that damage is dealt.

== Causes of Disease ==
Disease can be inflicted by a number of means. The most common, and the one that most players will encounter, is upon being struck by a melee attack by certain enemies. The attack need not cause a wound, but similarly, the disease is rarely guaranteed; rather, being inflicted with a disease is often an uncommon occurrence. A number of enemies are capable of inflicting diseases, but the most common are animals, from the lowly [[giant rat]] up. Additionally, many [[undead]] are capable of inflicting diseases.

Another cause of disease encountered frequently by locksmiths is [[traps]], in the form of [[Traps#Sky-Blue_Glaes|sky-blue glaes scarabs]]. The disease they infect with is often quite severe, and easily lethal.

A final source of disease is the Sorcerer spell [[Pestilence (716)]]. The disease manifests as a [[Damage Over Time]] effect caused by a direct warding hit with the spell, or a reactive flare upon attacking something or someone wearing the spell.

== Dissipation ==
Diseases dissipates as they causes damage. For example, diseases with a rate of dissipation of 5 per round that causes 60 damage per round will cause 60 damage in the first round, then 55, then 50, until the damage per round reaches 0 or less, in which the character will no longer suffer damage from the disease. Dissipation rates of 0 have been seen, which means the disease will continue to do damage until it is cured.

While diseased, the {{boldmono|[[HEALTH (verb)|HEALTH]]}} verb will display the following:
<pre{{log2}}>
Maximum Health Points: 145
Remaining Health Points: 125

Maximum Spirit Points: 9
Remaining Spirit Points: 9

Maximum Stamina Points: 60
Remaining Stamina Points: 60

Diseased! Taking 18 damage per round. Dissipating 2 per round.
</pre>

== Utility Spells ==
*[[Disease Resistance (104)]] will provide an additional warding against any disease attack.
*[[Undisease (113)]], will remove a disease, but sometimes multiple casts are required.
