Description: Also Known as the Curse of Fat, this curse causes its victim to bloat with excessive weight. The stronger the curse, the more distention the victim suffers.
Caster Considerations: A caster that has been grossly overweight for longer than a year and a day gains a +4 bonus on potency and reduces the effect of backlash by one degree.
Victim Considerations: A victim that is already grossly overweight is immune to the effects of the curse.
Target: One Living Creature
Effect: You feed the swine the jar of fat, and the curse takes hold of your victim. The swine's life force is bound to the victim, and for the curse's duration the lifespan of the swine is increased to match that of its victim. The curse is broken if the swine dies. During the first day of the curse, the victim becomes increasingly fatter until they reach an end weight according to the strength of the curse.
Minor Curse: (Intensity: 1-5, Duration: 3 Days): The victim becomes noticeably pudgy, an effective 10% weight gain. Tight fitting clothes no longer fits and armor must be adjusted.
Lesser Curse: (Intensity: 6-15, Duration: 1 month): A 50% increase in weight, purely composed of adipose tissue (i.e. fat). In addition to the obvious effects, such as armor and equipment no longer fitting, the victim suffers a 10% reduction in Stamina (min. 1). It also cannot Sprint and all other movement recovery is increased by 1 segment.
Moderate Curse: (Intensity: 16-25, Duration: 1 year): The victim's weight triples. The victim suffers a 50% reduction in Stamina. Also, in addition to the movement restrictions above, its recovery for movement is increased by 3 segments.
Greater Curse: (Intensity: 26+, Duration: Permanent): The victim becomes so grotesquely overweight that it can barely move. It suffers a 75% reduction in Stamina and loses all movement modes except for its Skirmish Speed, which is reduced to 5 ft with a Recovery of 5 segments. The victim can't so much walk as crawl, dragging its distended body across the ground. Every task is a chore for the victim, and it has a natural tendency to remain immobile. The victim has extreme difficulty completing even daily tasks and will need someone to care for them.
Breaking the Curse: Killing the swine is the simplest way of removing the curse. Additionally, the victim may fast for 24 hours to put this curse at a -5 penalty to potency (Which may aid in its removal via certain powers and effects).
