''With a wet rip, the creature's skeleton rips out of its body as it continues to gain size and mass.''

On a failed save the creature skeleton begins to grow.  On the first round it makes the creature 1 size category larger, but they do not gain any [[Strength]] or [[Dexterity]] bonuses or penalties, nor any natural armor increase.  The creature is is in pain taking 1 point of damage per caster level.  On a successful save the creature takes the damage but does not change size, and the spell ends.

On the second round the skin begins to rip as the skeleton continues to grow without its flesh keeping up.  The creature takes 1d6 points of damage/level, and bleeds 5 hp/round at the start of their turn.  Bleeding can be stopped with a DC 15 Heal check or any healing damage.  They gain another saving throw, and on a successful save they take half damage and do not bleed but the spell does not end.

On the third round the creature dies as the skeleton rips free from the body.  It continues to grow until it is two size categories larger than before and then stops.  On a successful save they do not die but they do take 1d6 [[Dex]] damage, and their skeleton returns to its normal size.

This spell has a different effect on creatures that are skeletons, such as a [[SRD:Skeleton|skeleton]] or [[SRD:Lich|lich]].  It behaves as ''[[SRD:Expansion|expansion]]'', growing the target skeleton either one or two size categories larger for 1 round/level.
