You create a phantasmal image of the most fearsome creature imaginable to the subject simply by forming the fears of the subject’s subconscious mind into something that its conscious mind can visualize: this most horrible beast. Only the spell’s subject can see the phantasmal killer. You see only a vague shape. The target first gets a [[SRD:Saving Throw|Will]] save to recognize the image as unreal. If that save fails, the phantasm touches the subject, and the subject must succeed on a [[SRD:Saving Throw|Fortitude]] save or die from fear. Even if the [[SRD:Saving Throw|Fortitude]] save is successful, the subject takes 3d6 points of damage.

If the subject of a ''phantasmal killer'' attack succeeds in disbelieving and is wearing a ''[[SRD:Helm of Telepathy|helm of telepathy]]'', the beast can be [[SRD:Turned|turned]] upon you. You must then disbelieve it or become subject to its deadly fear attack.
