Mythic Vashnik the Malignant Abilities
Vashnik slowly builds energy then Imbibes from the two nearest fountains (Bleeding Snake, Shadow Snake, or Burning Snake), erupting living venom masses and gaining an Adaptive Infection type based on the chosen pair. If a venom mass reaches the Malignant Cavity, a Malignant Reaction pulses raid-wide damage.
