This spell conjures up a small whirlpool, 5 feet high, and 3 feet wide at the top. This miniature water elemental has AC 5, 2 HD, MV 190 feet per round, hits twice for 1d4 and can be struck by normal weapons. In water combat this can confuse up to 100 small fish, 70 medium fish, 30 large fish, 10 huge fish, or one giant fish. On land, anyone trapped inside the whirlpool must make a saving throw versus spell or suffer 1d2 points of drowning damage. Spending more than 15 consecutive rounds in a whirlpool without the aid of some magical water breathing spell or device, will force a saving throw versus death magic. If the subject fails, he will fall unconscious. If he is not aided within 3 rounds he will die. Should he remain in the pool, but save, he will continue to take damage each additional round, and continue to make saving throws. Spells have a 40% chance of success within the whirlpool. The whirlpool can easily put out non-magical fires of any type. Any native of the elemental plane of water can easily dissolve the whirlpool with a touch, including another whirlpool.
