Consuming Darkness
Enemies who enter or linger in the spreading black take mounting damage, and the worst-off sink into the dark itself, trapped and half-hidden.
Your shadow wriggles before spreading out from you, forming a gateway of clinging, consuming shadow through which the horrors of another plane can barely be seen. The first time each turn you Sustain the Spell, the radius increases by 5 feet. Each enemy that enters the area or begins its turn in the area takes 2d6 negative damage and must attempt a Reflex save.
Critical Success The creature is unaffected.
Success The creature sinks partially into the shadow, taking half damage and a -5-foot circumstance penalty to its Speeds for as long it remains in the area.
Failure As success, but the creature takes full damage and a -10-foot circumstance penalty.
Critical Failure The creature is absorbed into the shadows, where it can be seen below the surface; it takes double damage and is Immobilized for 1 round or until it Escapes.
