Wood Rot (Reversible)

(See also: Wood Rot - Wu Jen (Wizard Spell))

This spell accelerates the decay of a ship's hull or deck structure. The wood thus, affected crumbles away at a rate of 1 cubic ft. per round, effectively destroying the hull integrity, a mast, or up to 12 square feet of 1-inch thick deck each round. All affected wood must be a continuous area; casting this spell more than once in one area cannot speed up the rot.

The material component is a wood-borer worm.

The reverse of this spell is restore wood, which can nullify the effects of a rot wood spell or the effects of natural decay.

The material component is a wood-borer worm.

Notes: Uncommon for Sea mages; otherwise, very rare. (Updated from Dragon Magazine.)
