Hello!  Apologies in advance for potential typos or formatting issues, I'm doing this on my phone. 

Description: This spell shoots forth a wriggling mass of necrotic worms at the target. The magic worms immediately dig themselves into the skin of the target, chewing and eating as they go. The spell can be resisted by effects that resist diseases. The worms eat the target from the outside, dealing 1 Magic Body damage per minute. Damage begins 1 minute after the target is struck by the spell. The target will suffer from -2 Strength immediately. The only way to remove the worms is through a Nature’s Restoration, Dispel Magic, entering one’s Death Count or by removing the disease via magic or a Physician. A Physician cannot pause the damage while removing the disease. This spell can be stacked. If the target enters their Death Count while this spell is active, the caster can eat the worms to mend themselves 5 Body. The worms can be consumed up to 1 minute after the target’s body dissipates. If the target dissipates to resurrect, the worms will still infest the clothing and belongings they left behind for 1 minute. Should anyone besides the caster touch the worms, they too will be infected with Carnivorous Worms. The target should stay there, out of game, for this minute to marshal any possible infections. If the spell was stacked, anyone else who is infected receives the stacked version. If the target receives a Life effect during their Death Count, the worms will be killed.

Am I correct in assuming the worms only transfer from PC to PC while the worms are in the person's clothes after they have died, since the worms no longer have a victim/snackbar to infest? And that they do not just transfer to anybody who touches them like some sort of ungodly worm themed maelstrom?

Thanks for your time <3

Doctor Ori Moran: A purple feathered Avian with a large shield. Paladin of Cassandra, Befriender of Villains, Committer of Treason and local Duck Enthusiast.
Nelinha: A wandering Ice Elf that can sometimes be seen around Ralinwood. Carries very little on her person save for a sword and small shield. Might be in a cult.

You are correct. It only becomes infectious during the victim's Death count.
