The victim of this spell is wracked with nightmares while asleep, completely disrupting any restful effects such as recovering spells, hit points, or psionic strength points (PSPs). A sleep spell negates the sleep of horror, as does a successful saving throw vs. spell. Certain special warding magics may prevent the spell from taking effect altogether.
In the Ravenloft setting, the victim has a recurring nightmare each night for 1d10 nights, and must make a horror check each night.
The material component of this spell is a pinch of black sand.
Notes: Uncommon for liches and evil spell-casters in the Ravenloft setting, and for Dream mages; otherwise, very rare. This spell can be researched only on the Demiplane of Dread.
