Kruh smiercu

Published: Oct. 6, 2021, 7 p.m.

Kruh smiercu is a sixth level necromancy spell with a range of one hundred fifty feet and a material requirement of fifty grams of crushed black pearl powder.

Upon casting, a sphere of dark energy, sixty feet in radius, expands from a point within range.  Anything within the sphere will receive a lethal dose of necrotic radiation.  Plants and small creatures will experience instant death, while anything larger will have a much worse fate.  Immediately, the dermis and epidermis will die.  The victim will not feel any pain because all nerve endings cease to function. Hearing and vision will cease in a few seconds.  The hair and teeth will fall out within five minutes, and fifteen minutes after exposure, the victim will go into shock as the organs begin to liquify.  Death is certain after half an hour.

The last recorded use of this spell with Belarusian origins was in Germany near the end of World War Two.

International Humanitarian and Federal law prohibit this spell from being cast, and there are currently twelve states including Indiana and Michigan, that ban all spells of this class.
