You invoke a wave of supernatural pestilence that sweeps through the designated area. Every living creature within the area must succeed on a Fortitude save or contract a disease chosen by you from the list of diseases available to the Cause Disease spell.

All affected creatures contract the same disease.

The disease begins its normal incubation period immediately after infection. Once the incubation period ends, the disease progresses exactly as described for that disease. This spell does not alter incubation periods, damage, frequency, or methods of recovery.

Creatures immune to disease are unaffected.
