Magically accelerates the decay of damaged living tissue, causing great clouds of miasma to billow forth from a targeted victim's wounds over several turns which may slow and heavily poison any living creature who stands in them. Air currents will prevent this pestilence from forming wherever the caster is standing, but they are not otherwise protected from its effects.

This spell may only be cast on a living creature who is at least heavily wounded, and channelling such necrotic energies will leave the caster's own health temporarily drained (though spellpower will reduce the intensity of this side-effect).

Cigotuvi's Putrefaction is a smite-targeted level 4 Necromancy/Air Magic spell, which must be cast on a living monster that is at least 'heavily wounded'. It causes miasma clouds to billow out from this monster over the next several turns. These clouds start as harmless 'faint miasma' that turn into proper miasma clouds the next turn. Faint miasma will never turn harmful so long as the player themselves is standing there (so no matter what terrain you create the clouds on, they won't hurt you - though it's still possible to surround yourself!)

The spell has a draining cost, which is heavily reduced by spellpower.
