Hey all,
I recently did an PFS in heaven with my Ifrit Orcale of Sarenrae who didn't appricate the lawful outlook on life. It affected her spiritual as a servant of Sarenrae.
I been thinking of getting Shard of Chaos, but I am confused on the duration on the spell. Spell written below the line.
Why does the spell have a duration of instantaneous (1d6 rounds)? Only duration that I can see in the spell is the part it talks about slow which only last one round. Any clarfication would be great :)
I know it isn't the best spell, but I want to get it for RP reasons.
--------------------------------
Shard of Chaos
School evocation [chaos]; Level cleric 2
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S, DF
Range close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels)
Effect dart-shaped projectile of chaotic energy
Duration instantaneous (1d6 rounds)
Saving Throw Will partial (see text); Spell Resistance yes
You hurl a multicolored shard of congealed chaos from your holy symbol, affecting any one target in range as a ranged touch attack.
A lawful creature struck by the shard takes 1d8 points of damage per two caster levels (maximum 5d8). A lawful outsider instead takes 1d6 points of damage per caster level (maximum 10d6) and is slowed (as slow) for 1 round. A successful Will save reduces the damage to half and negates the slow effect. The bolt has no effect on chaotic creatures. This spell deals only half damage to creatures that are neither lawful nor chaotic, and they are not slowed.
