| Description = | | Description = You seize a scrap of meat, dried and charred by flames, that once held a mind, if not neccesarily a soul. You whisper a dire imprecation to the flows of the world, the ebb and tide of life and death, and from that urge you call up those terrible destructive spirits that exist to use the remains of life as vessels of death. You give them a home, and unleash their destructive urges to the full. | ||
When this spell is cast, the caster animates a number of corpses as indicated above as horrible burning monstrosities, flesh charring, bones cracking, giving of terrible sounds as the dire spirits inhabiting then express their awful joy in destruction. Each corpse is treated as a ray attack, originating from the square where they fell to a space inhabited by their target. Each such corpse must have line of effect from its origin space to the target space, and the caster must have line of sight to all targets, but not to all origin spaces. | |||
Each flaming corpse must be targeted at a separate enemy. If a successful ranged touch attack is made, each corpse impacts its target (or misses to no effect if the attack fails). Each successful attack inflicts {{circle|TD1}} of {{dmg|darkfire}} damage to that target, and the corpse is reduced to dried, charred fragments. Note that the fragments left by this spell are sufficient, both to raise dead or resurrect, or, to act as material components for further castings of this wretched Working. | |||
If cast as a Ritual, this spell is almost always used during great battles, sieges, or to attack large targets like towns. Note that a good supply of fresh, eligible corpses can be difficult to arrange outside of a battle scenario, depending upon the alignment and/or murderous tendencies of the players. Approach with caution. | |||
