My current accusations of which wizards have been causing[1] disease.
VERY SIMPLE LINKAGES:
Babblepox and Chucklepox are both caused by Danny Nova.
Scraped Knee and Scraped Elbow are both caused by Zancro.
Smokesickness is caused by Nettie Silver.
INTERMEDIATE LINKAGES:
Disease Syndrome is caused by Moon Finder. However, the power of the Moon allows him to strike people with this from a distance: he affects people in sector X+1 or X-1 while he is in sector X.[2]
Parachondria and Problems Disorder are caused by Bartholopew, who says ‘Pew’ while casting spells to strike people with this from a distance: he affects people in sector X+1 or X-1 while he is in sector X.[2]
Scramblepox and Bumblepox are caused by both Azeru (at range up to 1) and Danny Nova (just in his own sector).
Mildly But Persistently Itchy Throat is caused by Dankon Ground. It’s not occuring in his sector, but it only occurs when he is present in the city, never otherwise.
COMPLEX LINKAGES:
Rumblepox is mostly caused by Averill (who leaves behind delayed-action magic that goes off up to 4 days later to spread it), plus a little bit by Danny Nova (just spreading it directly).
Gurglepox is caused by Azeru and Cayn: I believe they may be deceiving the monitoring (since both of them claim to always be in Zone [Day+9 mod 12]) every day they are in the city, even if this means skipping zones). However, it only appears on days when one or the other is in the city. Perhaps they are hiding behind invisibility or illusions while spreading it? EDIT: I am withdrawing this accusation, since it turns out that Azeru and Cayn always have at least one of them in the city. (Also, we already have Azeru nicked on other charges).
Disquietingly Serene Bowel Syndrome was caused by a ritual of some kind cast around Day 390 - it did not appear before then, and since then it has appeared regularly (ha) across all Calderia. I have no proof of who conducted the ritual—I suspect the wizard Gouberi (who formally showed up in the university for the first time the next week), but don’t have enough proof to make that a formal accusation.
Obviously, no-one would be this offended by people curing disease for free! Rather, it seems clear that the Calderians have some customary circumlocutions around speaking of spreading plague, in order to not bring down the attention of the Pallid Princess, She Who Arises In Filth. We should interpret this whole dataset as about problems caused rather than problems healed, but we shouldn’t say that directly to the Calderians.
There seems to be some pattern in when these mages affect the clockwise sector and when the counter-clockwise, but I don’t know what it is. It might match e.g. phase of moon, but not neatly enough that I can easily work it out.

I have no idea where The Shivers come from.
