Horrific Maiming (True Dweomer)


Spell Level: 10
School: Transmutation

Casting

Casting Time: True Dweomers require a Full-Round Action to cast normally.
  • If your roll equals or exceeds a DC of 47, you Fast Cast it as a Standard Action.
  • If your roll is a non-1 result between 38 and 46, you cast it as a Full-Round Action, as normal.
  • If your roll is less than 38, or you roll a natural 1 on the die, the spell is cast at half damage, treated as though all targets succeeded on their saving throws, or it deals only half its effect.
  • True Dweomers can be cast as rituals, requiring a 1 hour casting time. The area of effect or number of targets is multiplied by 10. The range of the spell is doubled if it is longer than Touch.
Components: V, S, M (A drop of water and a drop of blood, in a special two-sided vial, worth 1 gp.)

Description

You speak words of power, contemplating fluids held close, but seperate. You merge the two, changing one to the other and back again, as you realize the essential mutability of all things. You lay your eyes upon foes around you, and you...change them.

Choose a number of targets as defined above, all of whom to which you have line of sight, and line of effect. You transform a portion of their bodies into something else, fluid or stone or even air.

This Vis Viva inflicts (Strata 1 damage): 1d6+6 points of damage per character level (max 35d6+210 at character level 35) of flensing (physical, rare) damage, and inflicts the Crippled condition. If a saving throw is made as described above, the damage is reduced by half, and the Crippled condition is ignored.

As a True Dweomer, this spell requires three spell slots to Mana Burn for each Strata increase, and cannot be sacrificed to Mana Burn any other spells of any type.
