The shaman giants of the Silt Sea know a spell that can summon 2d6 silt spawn. It must be used carefully, because it does not make the creatures tame or placid. In fact, the summoning convinces the silt spawn that the priest is himself a meal that will satisfy their raging appetites.
The priest actually sings the spell while in contact with the silt. So long as the caster sings, the spell calls to the silt spawn. The song only lasts 10 rounds, after which the spell is broken.
To make effective use of this spell, the priest works with spawn trappers. The priest is extremely vulnerable. The trappers must scoop up the silt spawn from the silt before they get too close to the shaman. Fortunately for the trappers, the silt spawn is oblivious to everything except the singing shaman.
If this spell is used to lure specific silt spawn, those creatures do get a saving throw vs. spell to ignore the spell. The 2d6 silt spawn drawn to the priest are assumed to be those that have failed their saving throw.
Notes: Rare spell known to the shamans of the giants of the Silt Sea in the Dark Sun setting.
