Wood Rot (Wizard Spell)

This spell accelerates the decay of a ship's hull or deck structure. The wood thus, affected crum­bles away at a rate of 1 cubic ft. per round, effec­tively destroying the hull integrity, a mast, or up to 12 square feet of 1-inch thick deck each round. All affected wood must be a continuous area; casting this spell more than once in one area cannot speed up the rot.
The material component is a wood-borer worm.
The reverse of this spell is restore wood, which can nullify the effects of a rot wood spell or the effects of natural decay.
The material component is a wood-borer worm.
Notes: Uncommon for Sea mages; otherwise, very rare. (Updated from Dragon Magazine.)
