This poison is a gritty gray powder with a smell of burnt hair. Ground very fine, it can be made into a cloud of dust that a victim inhales or that can coat a victim's skin. Because it can act as a contact, ingested, injury and inhaled poison, working with blackrot is quite dangerous.

The symptoms of blackrot poisoning resemble the plague for which it is named. Painful open sores appear on the victim's body, breathing becomes difficult, and the victim suffers an extremely high fever. Despite these symptoms, the victim is not contagious and is not helped by cure disease spells or effects.
