When this spell is cast, the caster's face momentarily bloats and rots. This putrid visage is not an illusion. Those within the area can smell the rotting flesh and hear the squirming grubs crawling from various orifices. Just as quickly as the face rotted, it repairs itself, grubs falling to the ground and skin growing back. Victims must be in front of the caster in order to be affected.
This ephemeral spectacle is so horrifying that those seeing it must save or stand in shock for 1d3+1 rounds. Non-intelligent creatures those unable to see, undead, and opponents with more Hit Dice than the caster are immune.
The material component is a live caterpillar.
