Word of Reverence

Components: V

Range: Personal

Area: 40ft Radius spread

Saving Throw: Will Partial, See text

Cast using a 7th level spell slot. Any heretical creatures within the area that hear the Word of Reverence suffer effects based on the difference between the casters CL and their HD.

HD	Effect
CL=HD	Deafened
Up to CL -1	Blinded, Deafened
Up to CL -5	Paralyzed, Blinded, Deafened
Up to CL -10	Killed, Paralyzed, Blinded, Deafened

Effects of the spell are applied in decending order from left to right. Should a heretical creature fail a will saving throw against any effect, they are given all following effects. There is no saving throw on becoming deafened. Deafened: Creature is Deafened for 1d4 rounds
Blinded:Creature is blinded for 2d4 rounds.
Paralyzed:Creature is paralyzed and helpless for 1d10 minutes
Killed:Creature dies, or is otherwise destroyed. If this spell is used on a heretical creature outside of its home plane, it must pass a will save or be banished back to its home plane for 24 hours. This effect takes place regardless of whether the creature hears the holy word or not. The will save for this effect takes a -4 penalty, and takes place before any other effects of the Word of Reverence.
Creatures whose HD exceeds your CL are unaffected.

Augment: You may augment this spell to increase the time spent affected as if you had +1 on your die roll per augmentation.

Enhance:When casting this spell at a higher level spell slot, increase the range by 1 range category. (Close, Medium)
