Murder Blossom (VH)
Regular

Conjures a beautiful flower to hand that belches forth a jet of deadly pollen a second later. There’s no way to delay this. To exploit it, the caster’s maneuver on the turn after casting the spell must be Attack, All-Out Attack, or Move and Attack. Any other choice dissipates the pollen harmlessly, wasting the spell.

The caster may direct the blast at a one-yard wide circle ―― one hex, on a combat map ―― within four yards. Treat this as Attacking an Area (p. B414).
Roll against Innate Attack (Beam)+4 to hit, checking for scatter on a miss. (Exception:Hitting the wizard’s own hex requires no roll, and happens automatically if the caster is stunned, unconscious, or otherwise incapacitated when the blossom erupts.) The only defense allowed is diving for cover (p. B377), and shield DB provides no benefit.

Anyone who fails to escape the area is affected ―― this is a rare death spell that can kill multiple people. Roll the spell’s effect dice (from 1d to 4d) once per victim. Any result equal to or greater than that person’s HT indicates a fatal allergic reaction.
Treat this as a mortal wound (p. B423): The target instantly falls unconscious and must roll vs. HT every 30 minutes, with any failure meaning death.
At TL6+, trauma maintenance can help.

Natural recovery occurs on a critical success on the HT roll. Otherwise, the only cure is suitable TL6+ medication or a Neutralize Poison spell, at -5 unless Identify Plant is cast first to determine what pollen caused the reaction. Victims who recover are at -2 to DX for 3d seconds afterward, thanks to itching, but suffer no lasting harm.

The deadly pollen is a contact agent that affects any living being without the Sealed advantage (natural or from equipment) and/or Immunity to Metabolic Hazards. Magic Resistance provides no benefit ―― no magic is cast on the victim.

Duration: 1 second.
Cost: 7, plus 1 per die of effect, to a maximum of four dice.
Cannot be maintained.
Time to cast: 3 seconds.
Prerequisites: Magery 3, Create Plant, and Pollen Cloud.
