Albino Fruit Flies
(Conjuration/Summoning)

Range:  30 yards + 10 yards per level
Components:  V, S, M
Duration:  Special
Casting Time:  3
Area of Effect:  One 10-foot cube per level
Saving Throw:  Negates (but see below)

This spell causes a great cloud of small, white, harmless but annoying flies to spring forth. These bugs are so dense as to obscure vision within the cloud to only 2 feet. These albino fruit flies, while they do not bite, secrete a sticky, gooey substance, so that anyone caught within the cloud and failing a saving throw will be affected as if by a slow spell.
While the cloud itself will only last for 2 rounds +1 round per level of the wizard, the effects of the sticky gunk on characters will last until they manage to wash it off, a feat which requires at least half a gallon of water for a man-sized creature, and takes 1 turn. Using more water will reduce this time, of course, and complete submersion in water will wash a character in a single round. These flies have an even worse effect on vegetation. Beings made from vegetable matter will take 1d3 points of damage per level of the wizard for as long as they remain within the cloud. Other vegetation will surely be eaten within a few rounds, destroying gardens or forests, and probably greatly angering any nearby druids!
The material component of this spell is a live ash-white fly or any other kind of small, harmless, but extremely annoying insect.
