Proposal: L7/L8/L9 Poison Spell
I propose a L7/L8/L9 Poison spell, "Olgreb's Hideous Nerve Gas".
On casting, it affects all monsters in line of sight.
Monsters with poison immunity and blindness immunity are not affected.
Monsters with poison immunity (rP∞) are blinded.
Monsters with poison resistance are blinded and muted.
Monsters without resistance are paralyzed and heavily poisoned.
Monsters with rP- are insta-killed.
One of the roles that the Poison school can play is "stabbing without Hexes". Currently, that means Mephitic Cloud at L3 and then Alistair's Intoxication at L5. Olgreb's Nerve Gas would extend that theme, but wouldn't be limited to stabbers.
Does it need a downside or a cost besides the magic points? Discord has one (now everybody's berserk), but Tornado and Shatter only have the noise, right? Maybe one turn of paralysis? Maybe vomiting straight to Hungry?
