Frequency: once per day

Ability

Spore Domination

It is then temporarily immune to spore domination for 10 minutes. Critical Success The target is unaffected. Success Until the end of its next turn, the target is helpful to myceloids and can't take hostile actions against them. Failure As success, but for 1 minute. Critical Failure As success, but until the purple pox is cured.
