271 - Weakness in the Wi-Fi

Ritual: Weakness in the Wi-Fi

Cost: 2 significant charges.

Ritual Action: You need to be currently carrying an infectious disease and in a symptomatic and contagious state. Build a radio transmitter according to a specific schematic, it’s about $500-600 worth of components (less if you can salvage from scrap), which incorporates a number of electronically non-functional symbols made out of transistors and integrated circuits including a 3 meter antenna shaped like a rod of Asclepius.

Set the device up in an area where the stench of cadaverine is present and use it to broadcast yourself suffering: cough, vomit, mumble feverishly. Ham it up even if you aren't feeling that bad. If it works your symptoms will start to rapidly abate.

Effect: Anyone using a device to receive radio signals (cell phone, television, wireless internet) within a 333 yard range of the transmission risks catching whatever disease you’re carrying as though you did the equivalent of coughing in their face with the flu. This danger persists for as long as the transmitter continues to broadcast without stopping or being moved. Once a person has caught the disease your symptoms cease. Destroying the transmitter cures anyone currently suffering and dumps the equivalent of everyone’s infection back on to you, if multiple people are suffering this could prove fatal. If everyone infected heals by conventional means (or dies) that ceases to be a danger.

Other than the transmission vector the disease that victims of this ritual catch is mundane and may be treated accordingly by medicine.
