Necromancy [Darkness]
Level: Sor/Wiz 4
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 action

This spell calls into being a vertical or horizontal plane of utter darkness up to one 10 foot square per level in size. It is only an inch thick. This wall is stationary once created.

Any creature that merely touches the black wall immediately suffers 2d6 points of subdual damage as his energy is drained away by the wall. A successful Fortitude save reduces this damage by half.

Any creature actually passing through the wall suffers 1d6 points of subdual damage per 2 caster levels (10d6 maximum per round). This replaces the damage from merely touching the wall if the creature passes through the wall in the same round as the touch. A successful Fortitude save reduces this damage by half.

Material Component: A 5 inch square of skin taken from a zombie.
