Hallucinatory Murrain

(See also: Hallucinatory Terrain (Wizard Spell))

This spell causes all plant life within the area of effect to appear blighted, repellent, decayed, and sick. The illusion has olfactory and tactile as well as visual components, and works even on unintelligent creatures. Creatures that would normally enter (such as herbivorous herd animals, pestiferous birds and insects, bandits laying an ambush, botanists, bird-watchers, and children at play) will normally avoid the area of effect. The illusion may be disbelieved by creatures of Average or greater intelligence with a successful saving throw vs spells.

The material component is a twig, a blade of grass, a bit of bark, or a green leaf that the caster must chew and swallow before the spell takes effect.
