Faerie Flames

This spell is a variant of the 1st level priest spell, faerie fire. Except as noted here, this spell conforms to the characteristics of the lesser spell.

Faith Armor

In addition to the faerie fine effects, this spell inflicts magical damage upon creatures outlined by it. The spell inflicts 2d4 points of damage immediately. Each round thereafter, the creature is allowed a saving throw vs. spell to end the effect. Failure means that another 2d4 points of damage is taken and the spell continues, to a maximum duration of 4 rounds per level of the caster.

Otherwise, the flames give off no heat and do not harm objects, nor do they spread to other objects or creatures. Any creature touching an object outlined with faerie flames takes 1d3 points of damage. Faerie flames cannot be doused with water, smothering, or other methods normally used to extinguish flames, though magical means can be used, including a wand of flame extinguishing or a successful dispel magic.

The material components for this spell are a small piece of foxfire and an ounce of pure sulfur, both of which are consumed in the casting.

Notes: Very rare spell granted by some elven gods. (Updated from Dragon Magazine.)
