SCOURGE

Syntax: cast scourge <target>

The most horrible of diseases, the Scourge is a highly contagious and lethal
plague, spreading madly once cast, often devastating entire villages.  It is
a permanent affliction, curable only through the ministrations of a Paladin
or Clerical type.  

This is one of the most powerful spells in a Necromancer's command, and must
be used responsibly.
