Enemies standing on the spears must make checks to avoid being pushed back and damaged, as will foes that linger among the spears for too long (the spears themselves shift and flex, making it difficult to stay in one place).
  • Defaults to melee range. If self-cast, can use CAST POLE to create the spears at pole. Spears at pole range will attempt to block foes advancing from missile and retreating from melee.
  • Can be cast upon others, but only to create spears at melee.
  • The duration of the spell is reduced with each activation.
  • Attempting to retreat, advance, or leaving the room while the spell is active will cause the spell to end prematurely.
