For thirty seconds thereafter, if they have not resisted the poison (e.g. with the Resist Poison skill), the victim must scratch themselves uncontrollably, as though affected by the spell Command with the order to “scratch.” As with any Command spell, the effect ends if the victim is attacked, although ideally they should continue to roleplay squirming uncomfortably, etc.
