Blight
(Necromantic)
Reversible [[Blossom]]
Sphere: Plant
Level: 6
Range: 30 yds.
Components; V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 rd.
Duration: Instantaneous
Area of Effect: 1 vegetable object
Saving Throw: Special
The reverse of the [[Blossom]] spell, Blight, causes any object of vegetable matter, to have its appendages hrivel up and drop off. A solid object (for example., an oaken beam) is not affected. Any fruit, blooms, buds, leaves, and so forth are instantly destroyed. A plantlike creature, such as a shambling mound, must make a successful saving throw vs. death magic or take 6d4 points damage. Blight is extraordinarily useful against a yellow musk creeper (all its blossoms fall off harmlessly).
Notes: Very rare for druids and other nature priests. (Updated from Dragon Magazine.)
