Uttering an Unholy Word spell creates magic of tremendous power. The priest acts as a bridge between their god and the Prime Material Plane, causing a small explosion centered on the priest and reaching up to a 30-ft. radius. It affects only creatures of any good alignment that are caught in the area of effect. The effects vary depending on the target's Hit Dice:  Less than 4: Death  4 to 7: Stunned for 1 turn  8 to 11: Slowed for 1 turn with a 75% chance of spell failure  12 and up: Deafened for 1 turn with a 50% chance of spell failure
