About Maleficence

Roll a d12 twice on the maleficence table to determine which two maleficences (excluding Chaos) you may choose from. The maleficence you choose deals zero damage and applies its peril and secondary effects to the target. (You may use a d6 if you wish, by dividing the lists in half excluding Chaos, and rolling on each list separately.)
