The card says it plainly — "You're the carrier! Disease caused by
spell does not affect you, only others" — but the engine cast it AT an
adjacent victim, making them the plague rat. At rev 7 it is a
self-cast on fear's pattern: no target, no counteraction window
("REFLECTIONs have no effect against this"), duration equals the
number, and sharing a square bites in both directions — the carrier
walking in, or anyone walking onto the carrier. Older ledgers hold
targeted disease casts with full stack exchanges, so the legacy attack
path survives for rev ≤6 games and all 33 ledgers replay clean. The
client offers the plain Cast button for it in rev-7 games.
