Plague is a single target Shadow damage over time spell.

Travels 25 tiles a second, if it hits an enemy, it applies Plague, dealing $Attack*0.2*(1+Torment)\;$(e.g. 30% torment= 0.3) damage per tick. Lasts for 6 ticks (12 seconds by default), dealing a total of $Attack*1.2*(1+Torment)\;$damage.

While you can apply multiple stacks of Plague on one enemy, it's very inefficient to do so as only the first stack deals full damage. Any subsequent stack lowers the damage of every active stack in a way where the combined damage is increased by only 10%.

Plague stacking example

Original damage	Stacks	Damage per stack	Damage total
1000	1	1000 (100% per stack)	1000
1000	2	550 (55% per stack)	1100
1000	5	300 (30% per stack)	1500
1000	10	200 (20% per stack)	2000
