Mystyk's Mystical Missile
(Invocation/Evocation)

Range:  10 yards + 10 yards per level
Components:  V, S, M
Duration:  Special
Casting Time:  9
Area of Effect:  Special
Saving Throw:  Special

This spell causes a sparking, blue ray to shoot from the wizard's hand; the ray will strike any creature as chosen by the wizard. When the ray strikes the target, it will evolve into a vortex of electricity that surrounds the victim. The target must make a saving throw versus spell at -4; if this saving throw succeeds, the spell ends with no effect. If the saving throw fails, the victim suffers damage equal to 1d8 HP + 1 HP per level of the wizard, and the spell continues. Each round, a new saving throw must be made, with a cumulative +1 bonus (i.e. -3 on the second round, -2 on the third, etc.); the spell ends if a saving throw is successful, otherwise the victim is again subject to a damage roll. The target must devote his entire effort on escaping the vortex; if any other action is performed that round, the saving throw automatically fails and damage is inflicted normally. If the victim is rendered unconscious by the vortex, saving throws automatically fail (although the bonus still accumulates) until the target regains consciousness.
If a victim is killed by this spell, the vortex will immediately attack the nearest enemy of the wizard; if none exist (within spell range of the wizard), the spell ends. The vortex moves at a rate of 24, and the new target is attacked normally; the penalty or bonus to the saving throw resumes at the point it left off when the previous target was killed. For example, if the initial target was killed during the fifth round, the new victim's saving throw begins with a +1 bonus. Any number of targets may be attacked by this spell, as long as the saving throws are unsuccessful, and a potential target is within range; otherwise, the spell ends.
The material components for this spell are the heart and scales of a blue dragon, and any gem worth at least 500 gp. All components are consumed when the spell is cast.
