Spiderform (Priest Spell)

If spellcasting is interrupted for any reason, or the arachnids already bear a magical dweomer (for example, they are other creatures polymorphed into spiders), the spell is ruined and the caster is stunned for 1 round.
If this spell is successfully used on any drow (magic resistance fails), the drow is temporarily transformed into a drider under the caster's con­trol. The control is like a charm spell and lasts for 1 round per level of the caster. It is broken instantly if the drider is commanded to do any­thing contrary to its nature, the known wishes of Lolth, its superiors, or anything clearly fatal to itself. Transformation to and from drider-form takes 1 round, during which time the drider can take no action, and occurs when the spell ends, or upon command of the caster. The affected drow usually (unless Lolth desires otherwise) remem­bers nothing of its time and actions as a drider.
The material component is a spider of any type small enough to be held in the caster's hand.
Notes: Granted by the drow goddess Lolth.
