Effect: This spell transforms the recipient's face into a horrible and terrifying mask.
The caster can create nearly any combination
of hideous features--blue skin, parrot face,
elephantine nose, or rotting tusks.
The spell does not allow the caster to
duplicate the appearance of any known creature, although portions from
differing creatures
can be combined to create something gnew.
The effect of this apparition is startling
to the unprepared and those of little experience.
The apparition increases the surprise
of opponents by + 1 in situations where surprise is rolled.
Creatures with 1 hit die or level and
less must make a successful saving throw vs. spell or flee in fright for
1-3 rounds at the sight of the horrific apparition.
However, the spell does not distinguish
between friend and foe, affecting all (even the recipient) who look upon
it.
If the spell is CAST upon an unwilling
victim (to then be sent back to his comrades), the victim is allowed a
saving throw vs. spell to avoid the effect.
MC: A miniature palette
dotted with <>pants<> of assorted colors
{colour}.
