	Mortal wounds are generally given out with the [[WOUND]] call. If you have, and need to ask for, more mortal wounds than you are capable of sustaining, then you ''immediately'' become '''Terminal'''. If you take your final WOUND as a direct result of performing a skill (such as a ritual causing fallout) the skill still works and if applicable you can deliver its effect before becoming terminal as long as you do so immediately. Becoming terminal removes all wounds.		Mortal wounds are generally given out with the [[WOUND]] call.
