When this spell is cast at a target creature it dispels one spell protection of 8th level or lower. The spells that are affected by this are: Minor Spell Turning, Minor Globe Of Invulnerability, Spell Immunity, Spell Deflection, Spell Turning, and Spell Shield. The target's Magic Resistance, if any, does not affect this spell.
Handy for penetrating a hostile wizard's magical defenses! —Volo
Spider Spawn (Conjuration/Summoning) Range: 120 ft. Duration: 6 rounds + 1 round/level Casting Time: 6 Area of Effect: Special Saving Throw: None Upon casting this spell, the wizard must throw several spider eggs into the air while saying the final command word. The eggs transform into a fully grown spider that will remain under the wizard's telepathic control. The type of spider that appears depends upon the level of the wizard casting the spell. 7th: giant spider. 9th: phase spider. 12th+: sword spider. When the spell is cast, there is a 20% chance that two spiders of the proper type will appear instead of just one. These spiders will remain under the wizard's control until affected by a Dispel Magic spell, they are slain, or the spell duration expires.
