Effect: This risky spell brings forth a blast of energy from the [Negative Material Plane] for an instant.
Those within the area of effect suffer 1d4 points of damage per level of the caster,
or only half damage if a save vs. death magic is successful.
Affected creatures who fail their save will also be slowed <link> (as the spell) for 1d4 rounds.
Creatures from the [Positive Material Plane] or upper outer planes take an additional point o fdamage per level of the caster,
and the saving throw is made at -2.
Such creatures who fail their save will also be stunned for 1d4 rounds,
rather than slowed.
There is always a 10% chance that the mage will lose control of the spell and be affected by the attack,
as a ray from the area of effect bounces back to strike the caster.
Undead are never affected by the spell.

MC: The material component is a bit of earth taken from the grave of a [ghoul] or [ghast].
