This spell inflicts stabbing pains even greater than Nybor's gentle reminder and Nybor's mild admonishment. When the spell is first cast, the target creature must make a saving throw vs. death magic. If this roll fails, the creature dies instantly. A surviving creature receives a saving throw vs. spell to avoid further effects.
Those failing the saving throw vs. spell are incapacitated and can take no actions for 2d6 rounds. In addition, at the time of casting, the caster can elect to continue inflicting pain for a number of rounds less than or equal to his level. All saving throws made by the affected creature during this time are at a -6 penalty.
Notes: Restricted to the Red Wizards of Thay and those trained by them; common or uncommon.
