This spell calls into existence
a grey, misty screen shaped as the caster wills. Any creature
passing through the screen will suddenly find itself
trapped in a mysterious zone of nil-space where the creature
is subject to anti-energy drawn from one of the four
negative quasi-planes. For every round the creature is
trapped, it will lose 25% of its current hit point total, dropping
to 0 hit points at the end of the 4th round if the creature
fails to escape. The creature will be dead with - 10 hit
points at the end of the 5th round. For every round a creature
is trapped, it is entitled to a saving throw versus death
magic. Success indicates the creature escapes back into the
prime material plane, emerging from the side of the screen
opposite the side entered. The saving throw to escape is
made at - 1 in the 1st round, -2 in the 2d, - 3 in the 3d,
and -4 in the 4th round.

If the spell ends before a creature escapes or dies, the creature
is released onto the material plane as the screen disappears,
as if the creature had escaped on its own. A creature
re-emerging onto the prime material plane, injured but
alive, is stunned for ld4 rounds as it recovers from the
effect of the life-draining zone. Those imprisoned in the
zone may heal themselves and use any other magics, but
can’t escape unless they make saving throws for the zone.

MC: A sheet of lead crystal, earth
from a vampire’s coffin, and a hollow sphere (for vacuum).
