Michiko (Kaineng Center)

Notes

Works well when combined with disease, poison or burning to quickly stack health degeneration, e.g. in the skill chain: Putrid Bile → Toxic Chill → Vile Miasma.
See usage notes in the Virulence article for suggestions on making effective use of condition-spreading skills and spells.
Minion masters desiring a direct damage spell can use this spell with Jagged Horrors to cause bleeding.
When used with Glyph of Immolation or Barbed Signet, the condition is applied first, thus triggering the hex.

Trivia

Although this skill was changed to follow the Death Magic attribute, the symbol above the caster's head will still show the symbol used when casting Blood Magic spells.
The degeneration from this skill does not turn the foe's health bar purple, unlike other degeneration hexes.

-*Now that this spell is attributed to Death Magic it is easier to make a combo of [[Rotting Flesh]], Vile Miasma, and the [[Elite Skill|Elite]] [[Toxic Chill]] (in that order). At 16 attribute levels in Death Magic, this will cause 138 [[Cold damage]] and -12 [[Health Degeneration]] for at least 9 seconds, resulting in 180 additional health lost if not removed by a monk in time.
