Effect: This cantrip, much as does a bee or bug or mouse or gnats cantrip,
summons a small, ordinary spider from elsewhere to the location desired
by the caster, up to 1" distant from his or her person.

The arachnid
so summoned will usually be a common garden spider or the like,
no larger than an inch or two in diameter, and basically harmless.
There is a 5% chance that the creature will turn out to be one with
powerful poison (black widow, brown recluse, etc.). Since the spider
summoned will be annoyed, the creature upon which it finds itself, if
such is the case, will be subject to an immediate bite attack. This will
have only a momentary effect, distracting the victim for 1 segment, for
a normal spider. If the spider is of the very poisonous sort, the victim
must also make a saving throw versus poison at + 4. Success indicates
1 point of damage is inflicted. Failure indicates 2 points of damage
are inflicted, and the victim will feel sick and be unable to act
normally for 1-4 days unless a neutralize poison spell is cast to remove
the toxin. (A slow poison will defer the sickness for 1 day.)

C: To cast the cantrip, the caster speaks the word arachnid while spreading
his or her fingers and wiggling them.
