Drow Magic. Sorcery Of Endless Night.pdf - RoseRed

Upon casting this spell, the caster causes shadow and
darkness to writhe and crawl like a wave of spiders,
striking at those who oppose him and gnawing at their
flesh and sanity.
Those who are within the initial area of effect must
immediately attempt a Will save; if they fail, they are
subject to attack from any shadow or area of darkness
they enter, whether it be of natural or magical origin.
At the beginning of each round they remain in darkness,
shadows coalesce and attack, with a base attack bonus
equal to a fighter equal to the caster’s level. On a
successful strike, the claws inflict 1d6 + one half
the caster’s level in damage. This effect follows
each victim for the duration of the spell, so that even
characters who flee the initial area of effect are subject
to attack from creatures of shadow and night.
In addition to suffering physical injury, victims of this
spell are subject to terrifying psychological assault
as well. The shadow shapes which appear to gnaw
at their bodies are universally horrific in appearance,
with lumpy, otherworldly bodies, spade-like claws and
mouths full of jagged teeth. They resemble nothing
so much as visions from a child’s nightmares. For the
duration of the spell effect, all those who were within
the radius of effect of the spell when it was cast are
shaken, suffering a -2 penalty to all attack rolls, skill
checks and ability checks.
Victims of this spell can avoid damage by ensuring
that they remain entirely out of shadow. This can be
difficult to do, as even the victim’s own shadow will
writhe forth to attack him. A character who is the focal
point of a light spell, or other, similar enchantment will
not himself cast a shadow, though the aura he radiates
may well doom his less fortunate companions.

with a psychic poison which erodes their very soul. In
order to do this, the caster must touch his victim, as
only the intimacy of skin to skin contact can truly allow
him to express his exquisite loathing.
