Immunity to Poison and Disease

This spell renders the recipient immune to disease, parasitic infestation, poison, and natural venoms. Even magical or cursed diseases such as lycanthropy and mummy rot cannot take hold in the subject while the spell is in effect. The spell repels the attacks of such vermin such as rot grubs and ear seekers, and prevents damage from yellow mold spores and similar infestations.

Immunity to poison and disease only affects the recipient's subsequent exposure-it has no effect on diseases, parasites, or poisons already afflicting the recipient when the spell is cast.

The material component is a ground bay leaf.

Notes: Restricted to witches (common) and abjurers (very rare); the latter must be trained by a witch-part of this training implants a fatal curse that is triggered against the abjurer and student if the knowledge is passed on.
