Or there needs to be more damaging spells in those skills :)

That's not necessarily bad, but maybe some workaround could be thought of.
Note that even if the disease was somehow restored, it would have to run its

I would turn that into a quest.
If you're an undead, and wish to enter Navar, then you need to prove you're 
worthy entering, by doing some chore - go kill bad monsters somewhere?

Time to convert to the new quest system, then :p
