Blast of Pain (Priest Spell)

==Faiths & Avatars Version==
This spell creates a beam of smoky gray radiance that streaks unerringly from the priest to a single chosen target who must be within view and range of the caster as casting begins. The target creature must make a saving throw vs. spell at a -5 penalty. If the saving throw is successful, the target is overwhelmed by pain for one round (slowing its movement by half, adding 3 to all casting times, and forcing it to make all attack rolls at a -2 penalty) and suffers 1d4+1 points of damage to its nervous system; it is then free of the spell.
If the saving throw is failed, the target creature suffers 1 point of damage per level of the caster and is stunned and writhing helplessly in pain for the remainder of the current round and the following round. While in such pain, no spellcasting or coherent thought is possible for the target creature. It drops or flings away all held items and moves at random. It can make no deliberate attacks, and its awareness of its surroundings is blotted out. At the beginning of the second round after it was affected, the target being is allowed another saving throw vs. spell, this time at a —4 penalty. If the target succeeds at the saving throw, it suffers 1d4+1 points of damage but is then free of the spell. If it fails, another 1 point of damage per level of the caster is inflicted, and the victim continues to be stunned and to writhe helplessly.
At the beginning of the third round after it was affected, the target is allowed a third saving throw vs. spell at a - 3 penalty. If the saving throw is successful, the victim suffers 1d4+1 points of damage and is then freed from the spell. If the saving throw is failed, another 1 point of damage per level of the caster is inflicted, and the victim continues to be stunned and to writhe helplessly until the end of the round, when the spell ends.
Target beings above 10th level or possessing more than 10 Hit Dice gain a +1 bonus on all saving throws related to a blast of pain per level or Hit Die above 10. Creatures who have no nervous systems or are immune to pain are immune to this spell.
