Description
- Enchantment magics tend to be seen as 'beautiful' and 'winsome', as these Works are well-suited to such use. But this Work demonstrates that Enchantments can have a rough, brutal side, as you use this Darkling Miracle to hammer horrifying fear directly into the very foundations of your enemies.
- When you cast this True Dweomer, choose enemies as noted above within range. Each such enemy takes (Strata 1 damage): 1d6+6 points of damage per character level (max 35d6+210 at character level 35) of psychic (energy, uncommon), and gains the Startled condition. A saving throw made as described above halves the damage and negates the condition.
- However, if any of the enemies failed their saving throw, the true terror of this Great Work is revealed. Every round after this spell is cast, assuming at least one enemy failed their save, you may choose, as a free action during your turn, to make a ray attack from the space of any creature who failed their save, upon any other enemy you can see. Make a ranged touch attack, as normal, tracing line of sight and line of effect from the originating enemy to the attacked enemy. If this ray attack hits, a spectral copy of the enemy seems to dash (wholly in the mind of the victim) and attack. This attack inflicts (Strata 1 damage): 1d6+6 points of damage per character level (max 35d6+210 at character level 35) of Template:Dmag damage. Each enemy who failed the initial saving throw may be the origin of one such attack, whether they are alive or dead.
- Enchanting indeed....
