Effect: The utterance of a holy (unholy) word has tremendous power.

It drives off evil (good) creatures from other planes, forcing them to return to their own plane(s) of existence. It further affects
other creatures of differing alignment as follows:

                                                                                                              Effects
Creature's Hit Dice or Level General Move Attack Dice Spells
less than 4 kills - - -
4 to 7+ paralyzes 1-4 turns - - -
8 to 11+ stuns 2-8 rounds -50% -4 -
12 or more deafens 1-4 rounds -25% -2 50% chance of failure

Affected creatures must be within the 6" diameter area of effect centering on the cleric casting the spell.

DMG: The speaker must be from the plane upon which it
speaks in order to have the utterance send other creatures to their own
plane, i.e. a devil on the PMP could not use the spell to
send away anything, although it could so do if it were in Hell. Creatures
sent to their original plane cannot return for 1 day. Creatures slowed by
such a spell lose their first round of attack and each odd-numbered round
of attack thereafter until the duration of the effect wears off.
 

Shukenja: The utterance of the holy (unholy) word drives evil (good) creatures to their home planes, and affects all creatures of differing alignment within the area of effect as follows:
    Creatures of less than 4 HD are slain outright.
    Creatures of 4 to 7 HD are paralyzed 1d4 turns.
    Creatures of 8 to 11 HD are stunned for 2d4 rounds, slowed to half speed, and attack at -4.
    Creatures of 12 or more HD are deafened for 1d4 rounds, slowed to 3/4 speed, and attack at -2.
