Description

You speak a terrible word of power, setting up potentially lethal vibrations in the chosen target. The target must save once, and the effects persist as long as the creature opposes you.

When you cast this spell, the target suffers (Circle 6 damage): 1d6+2 points of damage per character level (max 16d6+32 at character level 16) of sonic (energy, common) and receives the immolated condition, inflicting additional sonic damage, as the spells weird eldritch energies reverberate through their form. If they make their saving throw, the damage is halved, and the condition is reduced to burned, inflicting sonic damage as above.

If you cast this spell again upon a target while it is still affected by the Immolated or Burned condition inflicted by this spell, they suffer a -3 Arcane penalty to their Saving Throw.

This spell lays an arcane charge on its target(s), depending on the caster who is casting the spell. If the targets are something other than you or another creature (such as an object or area), the spell lays an arcane charge on you, the caster. Targets which already have an arcane charge present must choose which to keep if the new spell has the same charge type. Only one arcane charge can ever be present on a target at a time.
