Bloodgloat (Priest Spell)

This horrific spell permits the priest to convert a deadly triumph into magic effects baneful to his adversaries. It can be cast only on a round follow­ing the slaying of a sentient, genuine opponent in hand-to-hand combat by the priest.
On the round following this slaying, the priest touches the body of the slain enemy and exhales a cry of exultation. One effect of this cry is to estab­lish a magical effect identical to a prayer spell in the area of effect of the bloodgloat. Also, creatures in the area of effect that are enemies of the priest suffer an additional -1 penalty to attack and damage rolls, saving throws, and morale unless they make a successful saving throw vs. spell. Finally, any creature hostile to the priest that fails its save by a margin of -6 or worse is subject to a magical effect identical to that of a symbol of hopelessness. Thus, if the creature requires a 13 to save and rolls 7 or less, it is affected by the hope­lessness (such creatures turn back in dejection or surrender; the effect lasts for 3d4 turns).
The spell requires an immediately slain enemy as the spell focus.
Notes: Granted by Iuz the Evil of the World of Greyhawk setting.
