| Creator: | Gaetano Magni of House Verditius | |
| Comments: | The spell is based on the Subtle Taste of Poison and Purity spell (In Aq 5, ArM4 page 113). The Duration was raised one step and so the Level was increased by 5. | |
| The Foul Taste of Poisoned Meat | ||

| Creator: | Gaetano Magni of House Verditius | |
| Comments: | The spell is based on the Subtle Taste of Poison and Purity spell (In Aq 5, ArM4 page 113). The base form was changed from Aquam to Animal (no change in level). The duration was increased from Concentration to Sun / Moon (level +5). The things sensed were reduced from "all properties" to just poisons and things bad for the body (level -5). The Range was also reduced from "Touch" to "Self / Touch", but this is offset by adding "Moon" to the revised Duration. | |
