Insect Plague

Prayer name: Amity of St Cornice A writhing, 60′ diameter swarm of biting insects manifests at a location within range.

Movement: The swarm does not move from the area it is summoned in.

Inside the swarm: Vision is limited to 30′. Biting insects inflict 1 damage per Round on all creatures.

Creatures of Level 1–2: Low-level creatures caught within the swarm flee in horror and only stop when at least 240′ away.

The miracle of St Cornice of the Angels: As a maiden, Cornice worked scrubbing the kitchens of a cruel lord. Due to her natural beauty, the lord wished to marry Cornice to his cowardly son, but he had her cast into the dungeons after her repeated refusals. The saint-to-be whispered to the beetles crawling across the floor of her cell, beseeching them in the name of the One True God to aid her. The insects obeyed, fetching ever more of their kind, overrunning the castle. When the swarm encroached upon the lord’s bedchambers, he relented and had Cornice released. Patronages: Chastity, beetles, (scullery maids).
