Description: Another spell that fashions itself toward hastening the forces of natural decay the Carrion Call spell is the natural extention of what Compost does, but applied toward more complex organic structures. The spell, stylized after the vulture, a well-known scavenging bird, manifests multiple streams of energy infused with highly concentrated Life energy and directs them towards the target. The streams of energy swirl and twist about the target before striking. Though this energy cannot be finely comtrolled, it does tend to seek out injuries that are present in the victim causing normal bodily functioning to cease. This results in a sudden, rapid decay to the location it affects.
Effect: {{{dtype}}}, {{{htype}}}, light fire and slice damage (but tends to hit wounded body parts)
Example Messaging: You lift your right hand, forming your fingers into the shape of a vulture's talons.

With the deep, hissing growl of a hungry vulture, a cascade of deep purple streams of energy come into being, forming up to swirl menacingly around the musk hog, clawing and grasping at its body!
The streams of energy completely encircle a musk hog's neck, attaching to the entire neck. The streams vanish, revealing nothing but a cracking spine, which completely turns to dust in a matter of seconds!
The musk hog falls to the ground and lies still.
The bugs finally cease swarming over a musk hog.

Notes

"Also, Carrion Call has been set up to do a little less total damage - but it has a tendency to hit body parts that are already wounded, giving it what might end up being an interesting niche for TM. It is not guaranteed to hit already wounded areas, but more mana invested will increase the probability." -GM Ricinus
