Invert Giant

System: Pathfinder | SRD

Level: 5

School: transmutation

Casting time: 50 minutes

Components: V, S, SC (up to the Intelligence modifier of the primary caster)

Skill checks: Heal DC 29, 2 successes; Knowledge (arcana) DC 29, 3 successes

Range: close

Duration: instantaneous; see text

Saving throw: Fortitude negates

Spell resistance: no

Backlash: The primary caster takes 1d4 points of Constitution damage and becomes fatigued.

Failure: All casters gain 1 permanent negative level, are exhausted, and cannot recover from this exhaustion until the negative level is removed. Additionally, the target is no longer helpless, automatically breaking free from whatever physical or magical constraints bind it, if any.

As the primary caster traces warped runes in the air, this ritual twists and reshapes the target giant with arcane energies and etches runes into the giant’s flesh. This agonizing process deals the giant 1d6 points of damage per character level of the primary caster. Upon completion of the ritual, the giant must succeed at Fortitude save or be transformed into an inverted giant. If the giant succeeds at the save, it takes a cumulative –2 penalty on its Fortitude saves against this ritual for the next week.
