- "You do not understand the Pestilence? Even after all this time? Doctor, it is an unspeakable horror, one that has shown its true face many times before and will again. I find myself blessed with the wisdom and good senses needed to root it out and destroy it, but many like yourself cannot. It is a cruel judgement, I fear, to be at the mercy of a disease you cannot fully comprehend."

Limitations[]
- Ineffective against users who are Inorganic beings (Artificial Element Mimicry, Bionic Physiology, Elemental Mimicry, Simulacrum Physiology)
- Users who are Undead or have a Defunct Physiology are immune.
- Pestilences (like the Bubonic Plague for example), may be more dangerous than just regular diseases, but the only fatal flaw is that they tend to evolve over time unless the user has a way to keep it strong before the blight gets weaker.
- May become infected from the created pestilence.
