This spell allows the caster to attack a nearby creature with a vicious bite of magic fangs. The bite inflicts 1d4 points of damage on a successful attack roll. The bite is magical and can hit creatures immune to normal weapons. While biting, the druid can make other attacks normally. The bite itself is poisonous, causing the subject to save vs. poison or die.

The material component is a pair of viper's fangs.

Notes: Very rare spell. Optionally available to shamans and other savage priests (Updated from Dragon Magazine.)
