Venom Bolt (Wizard Spell)

This spell creates a burst of black, apparently blazing liquid from the caster's mouth. It gouts towards a target creature chosen by the caster; to hit the desired target with a venom bolt, the caster must make a successful attack roll at a +4 bonus. If the roll fails, the bolt fades; it cannot affect non-living flesh or harm an unintended being.
A venom bolt is corrosive. It is not a flame, and can bypass armor or obstacles by acting as a gas or mist of droplets. Its touch deals any living (not undead) creature 4d4 points of damage.
The material components of this spell are at least six drops of any type of poison, and any source of spark or flame (extinguished in the spellcasting).
Notes: Restricted to drow, uncommon.
