Spell Rot (Condition)

Spell Rot

Unless you are Undead, each time you cast a spell you receive 2d6 Necrotic damage per spell level.
Cursed

Notes

• For Tactician difficulty, this damage is increased to 3d6Necrotic per spell level.
• Can be prevented by Khalid's Gift.
• Cantrips and spells that use class resources (such as  Radiance of the Dawn) do not trigger the damage, as they inherently do not have levels.
• Spells cast for free thanks to features like  Arcane Battery will still be treated as being cast at the chosen level.
• If fast travelling to another area before leaving the Lair, such as Rivington, Spell Rot will not be removed.
• Although Astarion is not generally considered Undead with respect to most effects, he does appear to be immune to this condition.
