Campaign Design - Spells: Phantasmal Swarm

Phantasmal Swarm (from School of Illusion)
Illusion (Phantasm, Terror) [Fear, Mind-Affecting]

Level: Sorcerer/Wizard 3
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Medium (100 feet + 10 feet per caster level)
Target, Effect, or Area: One living creature

Duration: 1 round per caster level

Saving Throw: Will disbelief partial
Spell Resistance: Yes

The target believes that it is suddenly covered by a swarm of thousands of insects. It experiences the insects biting and stinging it and burrowing underneath its skin, driving it into a panicked state. The target may make a Will save to disbelieve the existence of the phantasmal swarm, but the residual images of the swarm leave the target shaken.

If the target of a phantasmal swarm spell succeeds in disbelieving the images and is wearing a helm of telepathy, the phantasmal images may be turned upon the caster. The caster must then disbelieve the images or suffer 2d6 points of damage from the fear effect.
