Creepie-Crawlies Spell

E/F/M:

This spell summons a mass of biting, stinging insects, arachnids, and myriapods. These bugs cover the Casting, target subject, appearing on and under the garments or armor worn by that unfortunate individual! Unless removed by dowsing with alcohol or kerosene or the like, immersion in water, treating with thick fumigant smoke, or other means, such as a Casting to remove these bugs, the crawling swarm of body covering bugs will inflict 1D6 points of Physical damage each Critical Turn—plus 1D6 points of added Poison PD for each 6 points of damage occurring from bites, for accumulated venom from these tiny attackers. If victims can shed themselves of all apparel they can rid themselves of all these Insects, arachnids, and myriapods by rolling on the ground, slapping their bodies, plucking and picking, stamping, etc. This will require 1D3+1 CTs time to accomplish after removal of all body covering, however.
