Effect: With this spell, the shukenja creates a painful barrier against snakes, reptiles, and serpent-like creatures, including dragons.
The spell creates an invisible wall that
can be shaped however the caster desires. Although
not visible, serpents of all types are
aware of its presence. Those not overtly hostile avoid the area of the
spell,
leaving it alone. Serpents with hostile
intent may attempt to pass through the wall. However, those with 4 or
fewer hit dice must first make a successful
saving throw versus paralyzation or they cannot cross the boundary.
Any serpent that does cross the boundary
must make a saving throw versus spells or suffer 1d4 points of
damage for every level of the caster.
A successful saving throw reduces the damage by 1/2.
Using this spell in the presence of intelligent
serpent creatures usually enrages them, or at least reduces their chances
of befriending and aiding the shukenja.
MC: A shed snake skin.
