Description: The curse requires the presence of fire, and is difficult to cast. It has been used by travellers to guard a campsite while they are away. Some assassins also favour this curse. Its inability to discriminate a target makes it a risky tool.

The bite is lethal and can kill a wix in under three seconds. Unactivated, it can only be peacefully resolved by the wix who has cast it.
