Forbidden Focus (Cantrip) You learn one rank 0 Forbidden spell and gain the Horrid Magic talent.

Horrid Magic When you cast a Forbidden attack spell, you can use a triggered action and expend a rank 0 Forbidden spell to make the attack roll with 1 boon and impose 1 bane on the challenge roll made to resist the spell.

Sense Corruption (Sense Magic) You can use an action to detect the location of each creature with 1 Corruption or more that is within medium range. If any such creatures were hidden from you, they are no longer hidden from you. You can use this talent a number of times equal to 1 + your Power score, regaining expended uses when you complete a rest.

Dreadful Recovery (Spell Recovery or Improved Spell Recovery) You can use an action to heal damage equal to your healing rate. When you do so, strange black runes appear on your body, from which a foul-smelling smoke issues. For 1 round, you impose 1 bane on attack rolls made against you. Once you use this talent, you must complete a rest before you can use it again.

Horrid Retribution (Counterspell) When you take damage from a creature, you can use a triggered action to exact retribution from the triggering creature. Make an Intellect attack roll against the target’s Strength. On a success, worms spill from the target’s orifices, causing the target to take damage equal to 1d6 + your Power. You can use this talent a number of times equal to your Power score, regaining expended uses when you complete a rest.

Improved Dreadful Recovery (Spell Recovery or Improved Spell Recovery) You can use Dreadful Recovery one additional time between rests.
