Soul twist is a spell that rather than just attack the body, attacks the targets lifeforce and inner spirit, twisting and tearing them apart. This racking pain causes 18d6 points of damage (save for half). Due to its insidious nature, the victim must roll a Constitution check at -4. Failure means the victim passes out from the pain. The physical aspect of this attack, this damage cannot be healed by normal means and then can only be healed by a Priest, God, or Supernatural Servant/Minion of a God.(Must be of the appropriate faith sought by the victim).
If cast by Malaggar, a priest of the victim's faith, the victim's God, or one of his minions are the only persons who can cure the damage inflicted by this spell. Also, those afflicted may start to feel uncertainty about their views on life, goals, ethics, morals, God(s) beliefs and alignment that once governed his/her actions and motives Thus, characters of good alignment will consider Evil and spiteful actions, lie, cheat, steal, etc.
An Alignment Change! (Victim must roll a Wisdom check at -6. If failed, the alignment change gradually takes effect, changing one step closer to that of the caster per week after the spell was cast.)
Notes: This spell is known exclusively by Malaggar Quareth of the FORGOTTEN REALMS setting.
