Difficulty:	basic

Description:	Soul Sickness is the most elementary spell available to aspiring spiritual warriors. Rather than directly blast at the health of the soul, it creates a spiritual 'weight' to crush down on the victim.
Effect:	Immobilizes and forces kneeling.
Example Messaging:	You gesture at a grass eel. Slippery as an eel, a spiritual tendril creeps into its soul, engendering a powerful sense of indecisiveness. The grass eel takes on an ill, brooding appearance. It drops to its knees before you. Roundtime: 2 sec. Backlash effect when cast on undead: You gesture at a goblin zombie. With no living spirit to manipulate, the spell recoils upon you! Your skin crawls at the clammy touch of your own magic. Roundtime: 10 sec.
Contest Type:	spirit / willpower
Devices/Tattoos:	Grey inkpot (1), Tightly rolled scroll of blackened paper

Does not function against undead (they are invalid targets).
If cast without a valid target it will instead turn on you, causing roundtime.
The current theory holds that induced roundtime duration is based upon weight of success in the spirit vs willpower stat contest.
Does not cause Empathic Shock when cast by an Empath.
