[New Spell] Touch of Rust

Touch of Rust

“We know Mavnor,”  Chalk told the Elder Oakmaster a bit nervously.

“You don’t really seem the sort that the esteemed Mavnor would be seen with,” the aged druid replied.

Chalk took a moment to ponder that. Was there another druid named Mavnor?

“Enough bantering,” Koram shouted, “just let us pass through the forest already!”

The Elder Oakmaster turned and regarded the fighter. Smiling, he calmly placed a hand on Koram’s shoulder. Before the fighter knew what was happening his armor began to rust away. Horrified, Koram stepped back, but it was too late, the corrosion had taken over, eating all of the metal he carried or wore except the hilt of his crystal sword.

“Maybe we can just go around the forest, Elder Oakmaster,” Chalk said, more nervous than before.

“A very wise decision,” the druid said sternly.

“Could you maybe spare something to help cover my friend a little more?” Chalk said, indicating a very mostly bare and quite shocked Koram.

“Easily done,” the Elder Oakmaster said and sent one of the younger druids off to fetch a set of earth toned robes.

Touch of Rust (Druid)

Level 2

Range: Touch

Duration: Effects are permanent, yet see below

This corrosive spell allows a druid, with but a mere touch, to cause any ferrous metal to be eaten away, reduced to nothing but rust. Armor, weapons, walls, all may be dissolved by the druid, who can affect roughly 250 lbs of metal per level with this spell. Any magic items made of metal are allowed a resistance, based on percentile die as follows: minor magic items have a 25% chance of resisting the destructive effects of this spell, more powerful items have a 50% chance to resist the corrosion of this magic and greater magic items have an 80% chance to survive the destructive influence of this spell. Anything rusted away by this spell may only be restored by a Wish or Limited Wish spell, otherwise it is lost forever.
