Description¶
The Summon Insects spell attracts a cloud or swarm of normal insects to attack one enemy of the caster. This swarm gathers at a point chosen by the caster within the spell’s range and attacks any single creature the caster points to. A successful Save vs. Breath Weapon with a -4 penalty negates the effects; otherwise, the victim takes 1 point of damage every 2 seconds for the duration of the spell. Moreover, the victim fights with a -2 penalty to his attack roll and a -2 penalty to his Armor Class. The swarm will repeatedly bite the target, making it very difficult to cast spells (50% chance of spell failure).
Undead, constructs, and elementals are unaffected by the swarm.
