Manna Mosquitos

Full Description

The Manna Mosquitos exist in only a few, highly magical locations like the Sorcery Springs Geyser Basin. Slightly larger then normal mosquitos, they have a ravenous appetite for blood. Instead of spreading disease however they spread magic. A non-magical person bitten by one of these can often gain a limited ability to cast magic, but at a price few are willing to pay.True mages and witches avoid these pests as much as possible.

Additional Information

There are two big problems with allowing these to bite you and thus gain magical power from them. First, if too many bite and too much blood is taken, it can lead to severe weakness or even death.

The second thing is, the bites itch like crazy for days afterwards, and giving into the urge to scratch them can set off random magic as shown in the table below.
