Blossom (Reversible)

(See also: Blossom (Wizard Spell))

The blossom spell causes any object of vegetable matter, living or non-living, to sprout leaves, buds, and blossoms. The effects produced are living, but if produced from a dead source (for example, making an oaken door sprout leaves and acorns). these growths eventually die from lack of sustenance. Living plants react normally to the new shoots and blossoms. A plant-based creature gains 1 hit point per Hit Die, up to its maximum limit, for a full week. Blossom can be very useful in aiding victims of starvation (one could produce immature wheat cars from straw).

The reverse of this spell, blight, causes any object of vegetable matter, to have its appendages shrivel up and drop off. A solid object (for example., an oaken beam) is not affected. Any fruit, blooms, buds, leaves, and so forth are instantly destroyed. A plantlike creature, such as a shambling mound, must make a successful saving throw vs. death magic or take 6d4 points damage. Blight is extraordinarily useful against a yellow musk creeper (all its blossoms fall off harmlessly).
