The 'sickening touch' spell is a low level necromancer spell, typically
used before combat.  When cast, the target's hands become weapons of
sickness for a short period of time.  When the target strikes an enemy
in battle with his hands, the spell discharges and poisons and sickens
the enemy.

Note that this spell is similar to the mage spells 'burning hands' and
'shocking grasp' - if affected by this spell, you must attack with bare
hands for the spell to trigger in combat.  If you don't have any hands
free, try not using a shield, not holding a magic item, or (as a last
resort) stop wielding a weapon and attack bare-fisted.
