Death Spider

Death Spider
8th Level Spell, Alteration, Necromancy
Range: Touch Duration: Special Area of Effect: Special	Components: V,S, M Casting Time: 8 Saving Throw: Neg.
Description: This horrible spell causes one of the victim's own limbs to instantly become a mindless, hairy black spider. The spider twists about and starts eating the victim's flesh, doing 1-2 points of damage per round. Anything worn or carried by that limb drops away. The victim is allowed an initial save against the spell. If it fails, only a remove curse in tandem with a polymorph spell, or a limited wish or more powerful means, will end the condition. (A dispel magic will be effective only if cast within 2 rounds of the touch that confers the death spider condition.) The afflicted limb may be severed and burned to destroy the death spider. If done within a round of its creation, only a hand or foot will be lost (with accompanying 1 d4 + 1 hp, System Shock roll, and loss of the limb's mobility and abilities). If left until longer, the entire limb will have to go, with the loss of 1 d 12 + 4 hp and a System Shock Roll. A death spider never has a poisonous bite or other spider powers, but if unchecked, it will inexorably consume its entire host. One day after the host is entirely eaten, the death spider will exhibit the web spinning, venom, and other spells of the spider type it resembles, and become a giant-sized spider of that type. The material components of this spell are a small live spider of any sort, a drop of the digestive juices of any creature, and a tooth (from any source).
