	The target’s estimation is altered so that shiny objects become highly desirous to him. For the duration of the spell he is easily distracted by anything that glints, and given the opportunity he will acquire such things and secret them somewhere about his person. He must make an Intelligence + Concentration roll against an Ease Factor of 9 to complete a complex task in the presence of a shiny object that he does not yet possess.

	The target of this spell is infested with fleshworms, which set up residence in his intestines. The victim immediately acquires Worms, as described in Chapter Four: Medicine, Disease, except that the symptoms occur immediately. (Base 5, +1 Eye, +1 Perdo requisite, +1 Corpus requisite) are the most unpleasant for they live inside of man and living creatures; enigramus is a worm that lives in the head, and lumbicus dwells in the stomach. Lice and fleas live on the skin, whereas bees and flies emerge from rotting flesh.		The target of this spell is infested with fleshworms, which set up residence in his intestines.

	====Worms====		====Worms====
	The living creatures of the waters, the air, and the earth multiply through propagation, but there are also those animals that multiply through simple generation. These creatures arise from the elements, from plants, or from rottenness, and are called the vermes, or worms, from whence we get the name “vermin.” Mice are the largest of the vermin, born of damp earth; scorpions come from dry earth; other land-worms include centipedes, earthworms, and ants. Spiders are worms of the air, which produce from their bodies long threads and never cease in their weaving. Eels and frogs are born from slime and mud in rivers and ponds, and the blood-sucking leech is also a waterworm. Leaf-worms include the caterpillars, locusts, and beetles; they are born from rotting plants, and consume vegetation.

	It is the attractive properties of living things that enable them to grow throughout their lives, and the forces of attraction and expulsion also order the seasons, causing the hot spheres of air and fire to expand in the summer at the expense of the cold spheres of water and earth (and vice versa in winter).

	====Consequences of Growth and Diminution===		====Consequences of Growth and Diminution====
	Growth is most easily simulated with magic by creating more substance directly by informing new matter to account for the change in size, and thus is an exercise of the Technique of Creo. Muto can also make something grow, but it does this through the manipulation of the categories of quantity, making an object or creature larger and/or heavier without the concomitant increase in substance; such a change is unnatural, and cannot result in permanent growth.

	Philosophy in the thirteenth century has resolved into three branches. Metaphysics is the study of the nature of existence itself. Natural philosophy is the study of the world, both its non-living components (geography and meteorology) and its living ones (botany and zoology). Finally, moral philosophy concerns itself with questions of good and evil, of what is right and wrong. These three branches of scientific study are discussed in more detail in this chapter.
