Diseases
With the relative prevalence of magical healing and cleansing, mundane diseases are fortunately rare in the larger cities. The most dangerous diseases are either mundane diseases which have developed a resistance to magical cleansing, or magical diseases which are often more dangerous and fast-acting than any ordinary illness.
Mundane Diseases
Biological in nature, mundane diseases can be contracted through any number of methods. When faced with a mundane disease, the target makes an initial Disease Resistance roll vs. the disease's Potency to avoid becoming ill.

Magical Diseases
Magical diseases do not have a natural Potency, as this is determined by the power of the caster's roll. They also do not have an incubation period, and go into effect the round after being cast when the target fails its Magical Resistance roll.
