This spell surrounds any being the caster chooses with Underdark strengthening energy and his own concentrated violence; which only affects those commonly violent natives of the Underdark, otherwise the opposite occurs for non-natives of the Underdark and/or non-violent beings who this spell is cast upon. Once on a being belonging to commonly violent native race of the Underdark, this permits them to attack and damage their opponents at in creased efficiency. The spell recipient gains a +1 to damage for every 2 levels the caster possesses, and a +1 to hit for every 4 levels the caster has. This effect also transfers any hatred and other unsettling thoughts the caster has about his enemies and those he dislikes, so it can be very disturbing to others, who must immediately make a successful saving throw vs. death at a bonus or penalty equal to the amount of level difference between the caster and the spell recipient. For example, a 7th-level caster casts this spell on a 3rd-level fighter. The fighter would immediately have to make a save vs. death with a (3 – 7 = –4) –4 to his saving throw. If this saving throw fails for any reason, the creature suffers the effects of a spook spell, although with all of the bonuses from this spell as well, and will every after be afraid (if lower level than the caster) or ever wary (if equal or high level than the caster) of the caster and his deeds.
The material component of this spell is a few hairs or scales, or a pinch of dung, from a particularly strong-bodied Underdark creature—drider, riding lizard, umber hulk.
Notes: Restricted to drow; rare spell.
