Darklight's Hideous Rending
(Alteration, Necromancy)

Range:  50 yards
Components:  V, S
Duration:  1 round per 2 levels
Casting Time:  6
Area of Effect:  One creature
Saving Throw:  Special

This spell requires full concentration on the part of the caster for its entire duration. For 1 round per two levels of the wizard, a gruesome attack may be carried out. The wizard makes grasping and pulling motions with his hands in the direction of a single creature within 50 yards, and rolls to hit. A successful hit will do 2d4 damage to the creature, as a handful of flesh is teleported 3-5 feet from the unfortunate's body. One rending attack may be made per round while the spell lasts. The target will begin bleeding for 2 points of damage per "rend" until they receive healing or serious bandaging. The caster also rolls a percentile on each successful hit; if the score is equal to or under the caster's level in percentage, the target loses a vital organ or chunk thereof, and must save versus death magic or expire on the spot. If the saving throw is successful, they will lapse into a coma, and can only be revived by a cure serious wounds or similar greater healing spell; if not so healed, they die within 24 hours. If a target dies or falls comatose, the wizard may move his focus to a new victim, and so on, for as long as the spell continues. Use of this spell is not an act in accordance with a good alignment. Darklight himself will rarely use it, due to its ruthlessness.
