Adderguard Formula

E/F/M:

This is a dweomer which creates snake-like forms of negative Heka energy based on the floor, wall, or ceiling of a place to be guarded. Only one continuous area of the same plane (horizontal, vertical, underfoot, overhead, beside) can be subjected to the Casting. The effect is activated 1D3 CTs after any living thing other than the caster enters the Area. One "adderguard" is created for each square foot of the Casting's Area of Effect. Each negative Heka form has a range of two feet (up, out, down) and inflicts 1D6 Physical damage equal to Impact. The forms are invisible until the Casting activates, and thereafter they will be vaguely visible in good light as hazy distortions (much as if heat waves rising) of the air to a careful observer.
