# Poison Damage

Poison damage can affect an Immortal through card abilities and match location properties.

When an Immortal is poisoned, a poison amount deals damage to the Immortal at the end of every turn. After dealing damage the poison amount is reduced by half (rounded down) until it reaches 0 and is removed.
