Scalding Spout (Wizard Spell)

Holding out a hand palm forward, a wizard casting scalding spout projects a high-pressure stream of boiling water at a single target within range. The caster must make a successful attack roll with a +2 bonus to aim the blast. If he strikes his target, the victim suffers 2d6 points of impact damage, plus 1d6 points of heat damage for each level of the caster (up to 10d6 points of heat damage). The target creature must roll two saving throws vs. spell: one to resist the impact and one to resist the heat. Success for either save cuts that portion of the spell's damage in half. If the caster misses with his attack roll, the scalding spout may endanger an­other character near the target, at the DM's dis­cretion.
The material component is at least 1 ounce of fresh water.
Notes: Common in the Mystara setting; oth­erwise, very rare.
