'''Virulence''' is a monsters-only spell which strips its target of their [[poison]] resistance by inflicting the rPois- [[status effect]]. It also increases the poison level of its victim to 150% of its current level. This has little effect when cast on a lightly poisoned character, but can lead to a massive increase in damage taken for characters already at light or dark red poison levels. The spell must overcome your [[magic resistance]] to affect you.
