Needlestorm

A favorite of cold-forest and desert druids, needlestorm causes the spines on any pine tree or similar needle-bearing plant to spray out in a deadly barrage. The shower of needles has a radius of approximately 1 foot for every 2 feet of the subject plant's height.

Everyone within this area suffers one attack, as if by the druid, which inflicts 1d12 points of damage for every three full levels the caster has achieved. Thus, a spruce tree enchanted by a 7th level druid attacks with a THAC0 of 16 and inflicts 2d12 points of damage. The maximum damage potential is 5d12 at 15th level.

The material component is a spine from a needle-bearing tree or plant.
