e wyrm generates 2 wyrm taint.

an a month (1pt), 6 months(2pts), a year (3pts) +1 for each year afterward. Ki
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).
