     Death always wears a grin on its face.  By inflicting this 
spell on a hapless victim, the Dracolich opens up that target to the
malignant wiles of a catastrophic ending.  Virulence either worsens
an existing damage vulnerability of its target or adds a random new 
one if none previously existed.  

     While under the curse of this spell, the target will find that 
incoming damage is sometimes converted into a random type among those 
that he or she is most vulnerable to.  In the case where the victim is 
exceptionally close to dying, incoming damage might even become 
vorpal.

     This spell has an average drain on the Dracolich's phylactery.
