### Spell description

Athena despices orcs as you can tell, for they whiped out her family and sold her into slavery. When cast this spell poisons the orcs water supply, causing them to suffer the effects of dysentery. The effects can cause death. If a saving throw fails then the target will die in 1d4 days. If he saves the target is laid up in bed for 2 weeks. This spell will only affect orcs.
The material component is a drop of orc blood and a ready water supply.
