Arachnomorphic Terror Generator
A highly volatile modification of the Arcane Cannon, an Arachnomorphic Terror Generator resembles a small, single-barreled gun with a gnomish coil wrapped around the elemental battery, the battery being linked to the plane of shadows rather than an elemental plane. These "nightmare batteries" are powered by actual nightmare creatures that are trapped within the battery's crystal power source. When charged by the gnomish coil, the gun fires a blast of unholy arcane energy that converts organic matter it touches into a spider of equal size. As creatures wrought of Attinae's power, the spiders are fueled entirely by malice and cannot be controlled, they simply destroy until they are killed. These guns are exclusively the domain of the Cult of the Duchess, though they contract the actual construction out to the Mage's Guild. The devices are almost exclusively used defensively as emergency weapons in Duchess temples throughout Illiria, usually operated by a magical servant or expendable lackey.
