With the Spicy Pumpkin buff active, the final tutorial boss (The Harvest Witch, a mutated Succubus matron) cannot use her "Scent of Honey" attack. Instead, she sneezes.

By fermenting it with Succubus saliva, you are creating a paradoxical immunity: the plague cannot distinguish between your flesh and the pumpkin’s heat. You become a walking, talking stuffed gourd in the eyes of the swarm.
