The Tome Of Drow Lore.pdf - RoseRed

Casting Time: 10 minutes
Range: 0 ft., see text
Effect: One symbol
Duration: See text
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: Yes
This spell functions like symbol of death, save that all
creatures who come within 60 feet of the activated symbol
of lust instead become overwhelmed with lust, consumed
with carnal urges and an undeniable need
to act upon them. Individuals affected
by the symbol of lust can still defend
themselves if directly attacked, but
suffer a –4 penalty to all attack rolls,
damage rolls, ability checks, skill
checks and saving throws, as they are
far too distracted to fight effectively.
Individuals affected by the symbol who
are not directly attacked must make a
Will saving throw (at the same DC as
the symbol) to engage in combat.
Otherwise, they will seek to fulfil
the urges the symbol has given
them.
Unlike the symbol of death spell, there is no hit point limit;
once triggered, a symbol of lust simply remains active for
10 minutes per level of the caster. The clergy of Belishtim
the Dark Seducer use these symbols as part of their rituals.
Note: Magic traps such as a symbol of lust are hard to detect
and disable. A rogue, and only a rogue, can use the Search
skill to find a symbol of lust and can use Disable Device to
thwart it. The DC in each case is 25 + spell level, or 31 for
symbol of lust.
Material Components: Mercury and phosphorous, plus
powdered diamond and sapphire worth at least 2,500 gp.
Thousand Feet
Illusion
Level: Clr 3, Sor/Wiz 3
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Personal
Effect: 20 ft. radius spread
Duration: 5 rounds/level
Saving Throw: Will disbelief
Spell Resistance: No
Thousand feet is all but useless to a spellcaster of the
surface world, but in the Underdeep it can mean the
difference between life and death. When cast, thousand
feet creates a drumming impact on the ground in a 20foot
radius around the caster. This has no effect on most
people, who will only hear what sounds like dozens
of running and jumping footsteps. To a creature that
navigates and hunts by tremorsense, however, it renders
the caster effectively invisible, as
the creature cannot distinguish
between the caster’s footsteps and
those created by the spell. The caster
and anyone else within the area of effect
for thousand feet are treated as having
total concealment from any creature that
relies on tremorsense.
Vile Infestation (Greater)
Conjuration (Summoning)
Level: Clr 9
Components: V, S, DF
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Target: One corporeal creature
Duration: 10 rounds (see text)
Saving Throw: Fortitude partial (see text)
Spell Resistance: Yes
Greater vile infestation infects the subject with a swarm of
tiny vermin (in the case of priestesses of the Dark Mother,
the infestation is of spiders, other deities of the drow have
different vermin). The vermin manifest inside the target’s
body and immediately begin eating. The pain of this
ordeal is so intense the subject of the spell is effectively
paralysed and helpless for its duration. At the end of the
spell, the vermin have eaten their fill, essentially hollowing
the victim out from the inside and leaving him a dead and
empty husk.
Each round this spell is in effect, the victim loses 10 percent
of his total hit points to the feeding creatures. Applying
magical healing to the target during this time will prolong
the length of time it takes for the vermin to eat him from
the inside out but is unlikely to save him from eventual
death, as the vermin keep eating until there is nothing left.
The only way to save a victim of greater vile infestation
is by means of a limited wish, wish or miracle. Damage
reduction is ineffective against the vermin created by
greater vile infestation, although they can be driven away
by a repel vermin spell.
A successful saving throw against greater vile infestation
expels the vermin from the target’s body after one round of
feeding, costing him 10 percent of his current hit points.
