The next time you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack during this spells duration, your weapon breaks your enemies health and constitution and deals an extra 4d6 necrotic damage to the target. The target must make a DC15 constitution saving throw. On a failed save the creatures contracts one of the following diseases:

  • Blinding Pox- A creature affected by Blinding pox grows pustules around the eyes causing blindness and pain. The creature rolls with disadvantage against all attacks and abilities requiring sight. The creature may attempt as an action to cut and reduce the size of the pustules causing 1d6 damage to the creature.
  • Infectious Vertigo- A creature affected by Infectious Vertigo falls prone and starts to vomit. During their turn the creature may make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw to stand back up and must make a successful saving throw each turn or fall prone again.
  • Cartilage Rot Arthritis- A creature affected by cartilage rot arthritis drops what they are carrying in their hands. During their turn as an action they may attempt to pick their belongings up by making a DC15 Constitution saving throw and must make a successful saving throw each turn or drop their items again.

On a successful save the creature is not affected by the disease and cannot be infected for 24 hours.
