Effect
A section of the target’s body necrotizes instantly — skin blackens, muscle dies, bone goes brittle. The target takes 3 damage (ignoring AR) and suffers a permanent −1 die (Pool Penalty) to actions involving the affected body part until healed by a Flesh Shaper or extended medical care (1 week).
Resist
GRIT + Resilience vs. your Channeling Sum negates.
Steps
+1 damage per Step.
Special
This is the offensive mirror of Knit Flesh. Where healing stitches tissue together, Necrotize commands it to unravel. The sound is distinctive — a wet tearing followed by the smell of decay. Witnesses must make ECHO + Resilience (TN 9) or become Suppressed from disgust.
