E/F/M:

These clinging, poisonous webs appear to be nothing other than thick dusty old cobwebs straggling in pendulous arcs, deepening in a torn and tattered fashion as might the lines.. nets of long-vanished arachnid. They are brought into existence by this Casting in the Area indicated. The Effect empowers in these webs an extremely toxic and nearly-invisible contact poison dust, which inflicts 9D3 points of -Poison- Physical damage (per Critical Turn of contact) to each and every animal. persona, creature, or being (not Invulnerable to Poison) passing into or caught within their confines.The Effective Rate of this Poison is 1 CT (after exposure), so the careless subject might. already be moving on Into the Area before the first damage is suffered, with a second incidence about to occur the next Critical Turn Covering, including armor, avails the victim naught, for the fine powdery dust of the poison sifts into cracks and through breathing openings. On ly some form of Heka-engendered protection might serve to avoid this stuff. Moving through the Area at the fastest possible rate will reduce the CTs of exposure time, of course, mitigating damage thus. If the webs are exposed to open flame, they flash into ignition. generating a cloud o f poisonous vapors in an area equal to twice the Casting Area. but this cloud inflicts 9D6 points of Poison PD (one Lime only) on those within it then dissipates on the next CT without further harm. Note that webs remain as normal cobwebs, but still radiating a dim Heka aura. even after the Casting Effect which caused them to be poison has otherwise expired. Who can tell which are but ordinary cobwebs and which are We. of Death?
