Description¶
This spell creates a 4-inch-diameter sphere that can be hurled unerringly to its target. The orb’s effects depend on the level of the wizard:
– 1: Inflicts 1d4 magic damage and blinds the target for one round. – 2: Inflicts 1d6 fire damage and inflicts pain upon the victim (-1 penalty to Armor Class and THAC0) for one round. – 3: Inflicts 1d8 magic damage and burns the victim for 1d3 fire damage.
– 4: Inflicts 1d10 magic damage and blinds the target for 4 rounds. – 5 to 6: Inflicts 1d12 damage and stuns the target for 3 rounds. – 7 and up: Inflicts 2d8 magic damage and paralyzes the victim for 13 rounds.
A successful Save vs. Spell negates all effects.
