# Tasmia > [!info] Feat Details > | | | > |---|---| > | **Source** | Player's Handbook (2014) | > | **Categories** | Damage, Debuff | --- ## Description The horrific, arcane malediction spreading through eastern and northern [[Inazuma]]. ## Cause Tasmia is an arcane mutation of the common virus, [[Red Death]]. Tasmia's fatality rate is high, largely due to its strange and unpredictable incubation period. The malediction remains dormant within its host for an unknown number of weeks, months, or even years. The trigger (if one) for what causes the malediction to activate and become aggressive/contagious is unknown. The malediction seems to be transmitted from one person to another primarily through direct contact with an infected person or rarely via contaminated objects. ## Affliction(s) The initial symptoms of Tasmia included fever and vomiting. Later, the formation of rhombus shaped ulcers in the mouth and across the skin show. Over a number of days, the skin rashes turn into fluid-filled blisters witch harden and fall off leaving bright, red rhombus-shaped scars. This process is incredibly painful and agitates the victim into endless itching which can induce both madness and death. The risk of death is roughly 30%, with higher rates among babies and pregnant women. Often, those who survive have extensive scarring of their skin, and some are left blind. Others have significant detriment to their arcane abilities. In very rare cases, upon surviving Tasmia, a creature can be completely blocked from the weave of magic entirely. ## Cure There is no known cure for Tasmia outside of incredibly potent magic. Alchemists, herbalists, clerics, and healers of all kinds desperately search for a cure to this horrific malediction. ### Magical Cures - [[True Restoration]] - [[Wish]]
