The creature you touch must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, its features immediately change, making it appear to be the bearer of a terrible and highly contagious plague. The illusion is olfactory, tactile, and visual. Any creatures that can see the creature must make a Wisdom saving throw. Any that fail are frightened of the plague bearer for the duration. A creature frightened of the plague bearer can repeat the Wisdom save at the end of each of its turns. On a success, it is no longer frightened by the plague bearer. The plague bearer or any creature not frightened of it can use an action to inspect the various oozing pores and rancid flesh, making an Intelligence (Investigation or Medicine) check against your spellcasting save DC. On a success, the spell ends.
