Innate Abilities

• Innate passives: TBD (pending canonical content).
• Elemental traits: TBD.

Latent Abilities

• Unlocks/conditional: TBD.

• Infests fresh corpses, stitching through tendons to puppet them erratically; hosts fight with jerky, unpredictable timing.
• Exposure breaks them: fire, consecrated light, or salt burns the threads and forces the spirits to flee.
• If hosts are denied, the worms swarm as a crawling cloud that slows and applies infection; cold or wind scatters them.
• Narrative hook: outbreaks mark failed burials or war crimes; cleansing rites or proper funerals can avert spawns.

• Decide spread rules: can they jump mid-fight between fallen allies?
• Clarify whether anti-infest equipment exists (threadbreak charms, treated armor).
• Set canonical outbreak locations (mass graves, abandoned battlefields, necrotic swamps).
