Mummy Rot (Wizard Spell)

__NOTOC__
This spell allows the caster to attack with a rotting touch similar to that of a mummy. If the caster touches a human, demihuman, or humanoid victim, the victim immediately loses 2-12 (2d6) hit points and is infected with a rotting disease which is fatal in 1–6 months. For each month the rot progresses, the victim permanently loses 2 points of Charisma. While infected, the victim recovers lost hit points at 10 percent of his normal rate.
The rotting disease can be cured only with a cure disease spell; cure wounds has no effect. A regenerate spell will restore damage but will not otherwise affect the course of the disease. If a victim makes a successful saving throw, he is not infected, but he still suffers 2-12 hit points of damage.
The material components for this spell are a piece of rotten fruit and a piece of a mummy's cloth wrapping.
