Wyrm taint is to be calculated as such.

Each wound suffered by a wyrm emenation such as a bane charm, tainted fetish or
gift or toxic waste attack will impart the garou with 1 temporary wyrm taint. Su
ffering a Rage frenzy generates 1 temporary wyrm taint, suffering a thrall of th
e wyrm generates 2 wyrm taint.
ALTERNATE WAYS OF GAINING TAINT...examples: living in a tainted area for more th

lling someone +2 (not in self defense), killing an innocent +3, Drinking pollute
d water/ eating rancid food +1 per 6 months, partaking of tainted Items such as
tellus games or O Tolleys burgers (+1 per 3 months).
When 10 temporary taint are gained a being shall have 24 hours to be cleansed of
at least 1 temporary or it will turn into a wyrm trait.

feel the call of the wyrm and be drawn to it and it as at this point they begin
to stink of the wyrm.

go towards the wyrm unknowingly and likely will be heading to a spiral.
