Mantle of Hextor

This spell envelops the priest in an ashen aura that turns his skin gray and gives his face the horrible appearance of a skull with dull hair and red-rimmed eyes. Faced with this vision of horror, any opponent who comes to meet the priest to attack him in melee must make a morale test with a penalty of -2. In case of failure, this adversary renounces the direct confrontation and maintains a respectable distance from the priest.

Moreover, while the spell is active, the priest's attempts to control undead are made as if he had an extra level of experience. Finally, the priest's resistance to pain increases and he is no longer subject to the debilitating effects of spells that cause physical annoyance.

The caster must coat his arms and face with the paste when casting.
