Caddelyn's Catastrophe

This variation of the fumble spell allows the caster to affect up to four creatures if desired, all of whom must be visible to the caster during casting. If four creatures are attacked, their saving throws vs. spell are normal; if three are attacked, all save at -1; if two are attacked, they save at -2; and if only one is attacked, the save is at -3.

Creatures who make successful saving throws are slowed for the duration of the spell; creatures who fail immediately drop all held objects, trip or stumble if running or charging, fall if balanced on a ledge or climbing, and have any spellcasting ruined. Any missile attack launched by an affected creature will miss, and any physical attack will be at -2 to hit. Weapons are dropped and any weapon attack becomes a bare fists' attack. Dropped items may well suffer damage. (The DM decides which saving throws, if any, apply.)

The material components for this spell are a banana peel or melon rind and a tallow candle or lump of animal fat.
