There exists in all mortal flesh, microbes that devour and cause decay at the time of death. This curse provides the illusion of death to these wee beasties, convincing them that their host body—your victim—is now dead, and that the time is at hand for them to go about their assigned task. If the victim does not make a saving throw equal to the skill check, he suffers fever and unease, causing a -4 to all rolls. Furthermore, a daily Stamina check must be made to avoid 1D4 life points of damage, which cannot be healed until the ensorcelled microbes are defeated. Three consecutive Stamina checks rid the victim of this curse. Even immortal races, such as Elves, are affected.
