Swirling Infestation
====================
Fight back against the curse that is spiraling into the town! It is a dark magic, contagious, spreading to other victims with no more than a touch.

You are the town's only hope, a sorceress with the power to drive off the curse.

You have three powers available to you:
* Pulse: A forceful burst that can push the curse out of its victims, leaving the physical world untouched. (Costs 1 wheel)
* Radar: Reach out to find the souls of the afflicted. (Drains energy when active)
* Teleport: An emergency escape. You have no control over the destination, but the curse can't follow you. (Costs 2 wheels)

Be cautious! You are strong enough to resist the curse, but you are not immune to it. While you are cursed, you still have access to all of your
powers, but the strain of fighting its influence will quickly drain your vitality. Pulse will expel the curse from your body as easily as from
the townspeople, and Teleport will leave the curse behind.

Once cast out of the body, the curse loses its virulence, but its frustrated power becomes an impassible maelstrom. Be wary of where you purge
the curse, as the maelstrom will slowly grow, blocking you off and leaving you running out of space.
