Venomdust (Wizard Spell)

==Wizard's Spell Compendium Version==
The venomdust spell enables the dragon to create small amounts of highly toxic poisonous dust. The dust can then be sprinkled onto objects, where it adheres. Anyone touching an object so treated with bare skin must roll a successful saving throw vs. poison or die in one round. Even on a successful saving throw, the victim suffers 2d10 points of damage. The dust is rendered harmless by a successful casting of dispel magic or neutralize poison. The dragon can negate the dust, making it harmless, at will.
Dragons frequently use venomdust to protect the most precious parts of their hoards.
Notes: Restricted to dragons, uncommon. Known to be in the Draconomicon.
==Cult of the Dragon Version==
The venomdust spell enables the dragon to create small amounts of highly toxic poisonous dust. The dust can then be sprinkled onto objects, where it adheres. Anyone touching an object so treated with bare skin must roll a successful saving throw vs. poison or die in one round. Even on a successful saving throw, the victim suffers 2d10 points of damage. The casting dragon is totally immune to the toxicity of its own dust.
For each effective level of the dragon, the spell creates enough dust to cover an area of one square foot. Thus a red wyrm, which casts spells at 20th level, can create enough venomdust to cover a 4-foot x 5-foot area. Venomdust can be detected by detect magic and rendered harmless by a successful casting of dispel magic or neutralize poison. The dragon can negate the dust, making it harmless, at will.
Dragons frequently use venomdust to protect the most precious parts of their hoards.
