Bloated Corpse

Bloated Corpse

Mystic

Proficiency [Knowledge]

100 hours

This spell causes a dead body to decay rapidly, eventually building up enough methane & other gasses to cause the body to burst. Not only is this quite disgusting—particularly for those downwind or within the splash-zone—but is also dangerous if there are any open sources of ignition when the body explodes. Preparing the corpse requires an uninterrupted half hour, but all required material are found within the body itself. The corpse will be noticeably bloated prior to bursting—which takes at least ten more minutes—but the actual rupture can be delayed up to the skill level times 10 minutes on a successful roll. Everywhere within 15 feet is showered with gore; an open flame inside that area causes an explosion for 2D6 points of damage.
