Rain of Terror (Wizard Spell)

This spell causes a cursed rain storm to de­velop over the next 3 turns; though if storm clouds are already overhead, the rain begins im­mediately. The rain lasts for 1 hour, plus 1 turn per level of the caster; it covers a circle one mile in diameter. This will cover most villages and small towns.
The caster can choose the nature of the rain, within the limits of his level. Living creatures that rain down are 50% likely to survive. Thus, after a rain of toads, half are alive and hopping around, the other half are dead, killed by the impact. None of these animals are dangerous or able to harm anyone.
Notes: Uncommon in the Ravenloft setting; otherwise, very rare. Generally used by evil wizards.
