Skin to Bees (3.5e Spell)

''You like your skin? WELL TOO BAD, YOU GET BEES!''

You transform a creature's skin into bees. This renders the victim in horrible pain, leaving it helpless for 3 rounds. At the end of the 3rd round, it dies unless it is affected by a regenerate spell, a heal spell which makes a successful caster level check against 11 + the caster level of this spell, or a Heal check made as a standard action, DC 5 + caster level. In any case, the death is canceled, but the victim will remain helpless until all 3 rounds are up, and sickened for 24 hours afterward, as well as taking a -10 penalty to disease for that time. Of course, the lack of skin isn't the only problem, for the victim's skin is now bees.

In addition to the shock of lack of skin, swarms of bees spawn on and around the victim's location, up to one dire bee swarm per three caster levels. The swarms are under the caster's control and last for 1 round per caster level.

On a successful save, the creature's skin only partly transforms; the spell only turns small patches into dead bees. This deals 5d6 points of damage and renders it sickened for 1 round.

Material Component: A dried bee.
