Cause Inflammation

The cantrip can be applied directly against a single creature whose biology includes lungs. If a saving throw against magic fails, the recipient's air passages quickly become inflamed, subjecting them to an acute sinus infection that lasts from 2-5 days. Affected individuals are forced to forego work and seek rest, which may be of use to the caster.
