A rare trait stemming from the Effluvial Crow bloodline.

The Effluvial Crow’s trademark contagion. A distinctly bittersweet smell swiftly accompanies it once secreted from their claws, trailing a line of black smoke in its wake.

If afflicted, enhanced strength, fever, dizziness and confusion are among the first symptoms to develop. Once it has fully incubated within its new host, one final symptom will appear at last--uncontrollable bloodlust.

This strain is used to goad the Effluvial Crow’s opponent into attacking without pretense, allowing them both to engage in what is considered a “pure fight.” Healing potions only serve to strengthen the infection’s effects, speeding up what is already a dangerously quick process.

The greater the lifeforce of the victim, the hotter the disease burns, until at last, the victim's body succumbs from physical strain, unable to keep up with their own rampaging madness.

This type of strain is able to be used on all members of the Crow family with exception to the Effluvial Crows themselves--who are naturally immune. It is delivered via a puncture from their claws.

An Albino Crow trait that acts in conjunction with the [Scarlet Brand] viral ability known to this variant. It allows the Albino Crow to influence their “marked” by releasing different varieties of pheromones.

Albino Effluvial Crows can only emit one type of pheromone at a time, but their reign is generally absolute over their marked victims. These pheromones can both be used as defensive or offensive measures.

Albino Lesser Crows can emit multiple types of pheromones and issue more complex, and perhaps even subtle commands. But it generally only really works well on the Beastclan and familiar type creatures.

An Albino Crow latent perk. Aiming comes intuitively to them. They know where to strike and when. Of course, practice does help to make sure the hits land and nothing hits them in return; but they are otherwise instinctively guided to their opponent’s weaknesses and only limited by the extent of their physical abilities.

Once that barrier has been removed, however...

An Effluvial Crow latent perk. It makes them immune to all manners of maladies and infection alike. Nothing short of depths of the Wyrmwound itself is going to likely have a hold over them.
