“The Year of the Plague was a bad year for the King of Elderbridge. His wife had a violent and bloody miscarriage, and many unborn children died that year, but they never did find out what had happemed or who had done it. Though, there was one person who knew what had happened.”

This spell is a ritual which requires some preparation from the caster and expensive materials, which the caster scatters in a circle around him. This ritual takes one hour to perform and, during this time, the caster must not be disturbed. If he fails a concentration check (DC 15) during this hour, the spell is broken and the materials are lost.

When this spell is cast, a ring of negative energy emanates from the caster and extends for one mile in radius, centered around the caster and the place where he is performing the ritual. He must not move out of the ring of scattered components until the ritual is complete. All unborn creatures within the area of effect are stillborn within one day after the spell has been cast. Only a wish or miracle can counter this powerful necromantic spell. There is a 50% chance that the mothers (commoners) will also die during this bloody ordeal, though if they have any character levels they are too resilient and are in no such danger.

Material Component: The fetus from a zombie female (worth 1000 gp).
