E/F/M:

The Viperune Casting enables practitioners to create a small. written or inscribed mark of some sort of their choosing-Glyph, Hieroglyph, letter. numeral, pictogram. Sigil. sign. signet. Symbol. Rune. or whatever other sort of small mark or outline picture they might desire. The dweomer is otherwise not activated until someone then examines the mark visually from a range of three feet or less. or touches it. The Effect then produces a tiny, worm-sized snake which actually spits forth a deadly venom. The strike will be successful unless the target subject has some special dweomer preventing the attack of snakes. vipers. etc. The Poison STR. (strength) of the tiny viper can be as strong as 60, according to the amount of additional HEKA expended by the practitioner at the moment of casting. For every 2 points of extra Heka spent, the caster imbues the dweomer with 1 Poison STR point. The poison has an Effective Rate of 1D3 BTs time for onset. 2D3 BTs for the second onset, and 3D3 BTs for the final delivery of Physical damage to the victim's system. After activation of this Effect, the viper appears, strikes, and the mark fades into nothingness. Note that several such marks can be contained on the same surface.
