[Pending Restart] - [Scholomance] - The wandering plague debuff (the one you receive after wandering plague is spread to you) is no longer dispellable.

Now you can remove the cause effect and no longer gain additional stacks of the wandering plague without having to spam dispels on players.

You can remove these stacks with dispel curse and all stacks are dispelled at once.
