Improved Phantasmal Killer
(Illusion/Phantasm)

Range:  5 yards per level
Components:  V, S
Duration:  1 round per level
Casting Time:  8
Area of Effect:  One creature
Saving Throw:  Special

This spell, like its 4th-level counterpart, draws on the inner fears of the victim's subconscious mind to create a terrifying monster that only he can see. The killer has all the abilities of its lower level cousin. However, it attacks twice per round as a 6 HD creature, hitting any Armour Class on a 19 or 20.
The defence for this spell is the same as for the 4th-level version. Having been attacked by that spell does not grant a bonus to this one. If the killer is disbelieved, the wizard has a 4% chance per level of turning it onto a new victim. This chance drops to 3% per level for a third victim, 2% per level for a fourth, and 1% per level for a fifth. The killer can also be turned to a new victim if it kills its current one. If any of the turning attempts fail, the killer is dispelled.
If the killer is turned on its creator (by a reflection, for example), that wizard gets a +2 on a possible attempt to disbelieve. Anyone who reverses the killer cannot direct it to any other victims except the original caster.
