Spiral Sores

The Patient
The patient is a character you may encounter in The Hospital. Upon the encounter, you'll have two choices: If the player has given him water, he will spit it out on the character that helped him. The spit can be avoided with high enough finesse, ending the event.
 * 1) Get him water. (triggers the eldritch events)
 * 2) Ignore him. (stops the events)

The spit will infect the character with Spiral Sores, adding 3 magic and removing 3 mind immediately. If not countered, it can hurt the survival efforts later on, should the Conjurer role be picked.

If infected before week 6
The character will receive another 3 magic and lose 3 mind. The spirals will begin to glow, and the character will unleash his magic on anyone in the area. The area he was in during this event will be unavailable for the rest of the playthrough.

It also triggers new possible character endings, dependent upon what overall ending was achieved.

If infected on week 6
The sores will take effect on picking your role. See further information in Endings.

Role - Looter (infected on week 6)
You incinerate nearby looters with your rogue magic. It helps the survival efforts.

Other roles (infected on week 6)
You incinerate nearby people with your rogue magic. It damages the survival efforts a lot.

"Good?" ending
After some time, your disease comes back. Terrified of what will happen should your magic go rogue again, you quickly jump off a bridge. The sores make your body explode with magic and a new star appears on the sky...

Bad ending
After some time, your disease comes back. It's effects on your mind and post-Yawhg trauma cause you to slip into insanity, reveling in your powers. At some point you become so powerful, that you open a rift to another dimension, a hedge of thorns. You enter, as the thorns rip your soul apart. After a time, you get bored and reach out through the hedge, pulling in humans to play with.
