Description¶
Upon casting this spell, a skull is thrown by the caster at the target area. The skull floats in the area until a creature comes within 20 feet of it. When this happens, the skull is triggered and explodes, damaging everyone within a 30-foot radius. The damage inflicted is equal to 1–6 hit points per level of the caster. When casting this spell, it is wise to set it far away from the party, lest they set it off accidentally.
