Circle of Agony

Spell — see Magic and Spellcasting for the rules and the Spell Index for the full list.

This spell is considered contraband in Sair.

Arcane 5 Type: death

Range: 45’ Duration: indefinite

This spell can inflict agonizing pain on one, two, three, four, or five living target(s) with less than 9 HD of the caster’s choice. Each target must make a Death saving throw. If the save succeeds, the spell has no effect on the target. If the save fails, the target becomes helpless with agony.

At the start of its initiative, each creature made helpless by this spell suffers 1d4 extraordinary necrotic damage from body-wracking pain and then makes another Death saving throw. If the save succeeds, the spell ends for that creature. If the save fails, the creature remains helpless. The effects of a circle of agony continue until dispelled, or the target(s) either die(s) or successfully save(s). The caster does not need to concentrate to maintain the effects.
