Snapdragon (Priest Spell)

This spell is named after the little flower whose petals can be manipulated like jaws. Upon casting this spell, all blooming plants in the area of effect become animated and carnivorous. They writhe and stretch, biting at creatures passing through the area. They also shoot their pollen at creatures within the area of effect, in imitation of a dragon's use of its breath weapon. Creatures passing through this spell area take 2d4 points of damage from plant bites each round they are within the area of effect. Flowers shoot pollen at creatures in the area of effect. This causes a disabling sneezing and choking attack that prevents any action other than staggering about at half movement rate for as long as the creature remains in the area and 1d4+1 rounds thereafter. A successful saving throw vs. spell reduces damage from bites to 1d4 points per round, and negates the pollen attack for five rounds. Creatures remaining in the area longer than this, or leaving and then reentering must make another saving throw to avoid the effects.
The material component is a snapdragon blos­som.
Notes: Very rare druid spell. (Updated from Dragon Magazine.)
