Sadist's Silence (3.5e Spell)

Upon casting this spell, a red hot needle trailing a length of black wire flies at the face of the target. The needle burrows into the target's face and quickly sutures both lips and tongue tightly together. This renders the target unable to speak and deals 1d4 damage.

A successful Heal check (DC = spell's DC) removes the sutures with one minute of work. Failure by less than 5 removes the sutures but deals an additional 1d4 damage. Failure by more than 5 does not remove the sutures and deals an additional 1d4 damage. After removal of the sutures, the target requires a DC 20 concentration check to cast spells with somatic components due to the pain of the punctures. Eight hours of rest or a cure spell which heals damage equal or greater than the damage taken by this spell removes this effect.

A subject with DR/piercing gains a +2 to their reflex save to avoid being struck with the needle.

Material Component: A small length of wire that has pierced a living creature's skin.
