The victim cannot concentrate on even the simplest [[spellcasting\|spell]], cannot inspire themselves to [[Heroic skills\|heroic action]] and cannot use the powers of any [[magic items]] they are bonded to.

	It is particularly insidious in that it does not go away naturally; it can be removed with [[Bladeroot\|herbs]] by a skilled [[Surgical skills#Physick\|physick]], or purged by a magician using the [[purify]] spell or a [[rituals\|ritual]] such as [[Renewed Strength of the New Day]]. Otherwise, it lasts indefinitely.
