📋 About This Mod
In Skyrim Reputation you can receive a cursed letter from witches cursing you for killing their kind. The curse gives you the diseases Brain Rot and Rockjoint. Skyrim Reputation mistakenly uses the wrong versions of these spells (DiseaseBrainRot and DiseaseRockJoint). As far as I can tell, these spells are meant to be used for enemies infecting you via an attack. I swapped them out for TrapDiseaseBrainRot and TrapDiseaseRockJoint. Now the diseases show up in your active magic effects and you can cure them at shrines and with potions.
*Note: if you've already read the letter before installing this mod, you'll need to remove the diseases with console commands.
