A victim of this terrible curse must save vs. spell to avoid being horribly transformed- covered in scars, boils, welts, warts, and other deformities, instantly reducing the Charisma ability score to 1. This renders the individual so repulsive that any viewer must save vs. spell or be unable to bear the individual's presence. Those failing the save may attack if normally inclined to be suspicious or hostile, while those normally inclined to be helpful or friendly might simply leave in disgust. Neutral creatures have a 50% chance to do either.
This spell is used as punishment, to ensure the loyalty of retainers, or to punish rivals. The spell can be excised only by a remove curse, limited wish, or wish. A dispel magic spell has no effect.
Notes: Common for the Red Wizards of Thay; otherwise very rare.
