(Alteration)

Range:  0
Components:  V, S, M
Duration:  9 rounds
Casting Time:  4
Area of Effect:  Creature touched
Saving Throw:  None

This spell causes the recipient to give off the strong smell of blood as if they were bleeding profusely. The victim will take no damage from the spell and there are no visible effects, only the scent of blood. The smell attracts carnivorous creatures in the area - usually sharks. The spell has a 10% chance of attracting wandering monsters on the first round after casting, with an additional 10% each round thereafter. This chance increases to a maximum of 90% on the ninth and last round of the spell duration.
The type of creatures appearing depends on the area the spell is cast. The DM can do a wandering monsters check to determine what shows up. The creatures that appear will be so strongly attracted to the spell victim that they will ignore all other living things in the area. When the spell duration expires, the scent immediately disappears and the attracted carnivores will no longer be attracted to the individual. However, if they successfully drew blood from the victim, chances are they will continue to attack. The material component for this spell is a shark's tooth.
Note: this spell was created for use underwater. If the DM allows, the spell can be used in a land-based campaign to attract carnivorous creatures. The spell may not be as effective out of the water - at the DM's discretion.
