This spell targets a limb of the victim, attempting to make it explode. This spell is modified by training in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy.
To Aim or Not to Aim
Untargeted, this spell will randomly select from one of the remaining limbs of the victim (this includes hands, arms, and legs, or their equivalents depending on the creature). This spell can also be used to target a particular limb (for example, the right leg). To target at a particular limb, simply CAST <target> [right|left] [hand|arm|leg|etc.]. 2x Spell Aiming is required to cast the targeted version of this spell against a like-leveled target without a penalty to the sorcerer’s CS. Casting the targeted version of this spell against an opponent of higher level will always result in a CS penalty. Less Spell Aiming has steep CS penalties, you would have a hard time casting the spell reliably upon like-leveled targets.
Warding Roll Results
The damage done to the limb depends on the severity of the warding endroll. An endroll of 141 is required to cause the limb to explode. An endroll over 121 will cause the limb to break, causing a one or two round stun. An endroll under 121 will cause a level one wound on the limb in question, with no subsequent stun.
Necromancy Modifications
Training in Sorcerous Lore, Necromancy allows the sorcerer to animate the limbs that have exploded due to this spell. The chances of animation are based on the caster’s Necromancy ranks in relation to the target’s level. Preliminary research points to a cap of 25% animation chance against like-leveled targets. Only legs and arms (or their equivalents) will animate. Hands will never animate. Likewise, player limbs will never animate.
Animated arms will attempt to knock over a standing target, or they will attempt to drag a grounded target, causing hard roundtime. Animated legs will attempt to knock over standing targets only. The odds of a limb successfully attacking a target are based on the size of the limb in relation to the size of the target and the level of the target in relation to the level of the creature from which the limb originated. The limbs will last for a few rounds before decaying away, and they will randomly choose a new target each round.
