- Parasite Grasp
  Cost: 30 MP | Type: Special | Instantaneous. The mysterious infection nestled in the Heart of Eldgren spreads, causing it to spasm violently: the Heart loses the exact amount of Hit Points required to enter Crisis. After that, the Heart deals poison damage equal to (the amount of Hit Points lost with this spell divided by the number of creatures present on the scene) to each creature present on the scene (including itself).

  (Warning: If a Player Character learns this spell with spell Mimic, they immediately lose all their Fabula Points and suffer enraged. If the campaign continues, the group might even have that character evolve into a Villain.)

  The Heart may use an action and spend 20 Mind Points to stop being affected by any spell with duration “Scene” and any “hex” invocations (see page 156).
