Drow Magic. Sorcery Of Endless Night.pdf - RoseRed

The birthing of the spider instantly reduces the victim
to -10 hit points.
Monstrous spiders created by this spell can be no larger
than the size category of the victim when he died,
regardless of the victim’s level or Hit Die. However,
should a victim’s level or Hit Die indicate that a spider
larger than his body can support be created, the magic of
the spell instead creates multiple spiders of the largest
attainable size, with each step of difference between the
size categories of the victim and the spider to be created
doubling the number of spiders. So, for example, a 20 th
level character’s body would normally birth a spider
of colossal size. If the victim were medium sized,
however, the spell would instead create 16 Medium
monstrous spiders.
This spell can only be cast upon living creatures, and
only if they are above 0 hit points. The eggs implanted
by the spider mother are destroyed by the application of
any cure spell, remove disease or other, similar spells
and spell-like effects.
Material Components: A spider’s egg sac, which must
be torn open and hurled towards the intended victims
