This terrible spell is cast on a piercing weapon, a spear, or an arrow. When the point of the weapon penetrates flesh (causes damage), the wooden tip begins to sprout as if growing. The roots and branches seek out vital organs as a source of nutrients. If a saving throw vs. death magic isn't made. the vines burst through the subject's vital organs, killing him or her instantly. If the saving throw is successful, the subject manages to pull the weapon out, but takes an additional 1d8 points of damage. This spell does not work on undead or creatures without internal organs.

Notes: Common for Elemental Earth or Water priests from the Dark Sun setting.
