Spell description

While casting this spell, the caster makes threatening gestures and says stuff like "I'm gonna beat the crap out of you, you can't fight worth half a kobold, you sniveling wretch!" When he is done harassing his foes, the caster undergoes a hideous transformation which takes 1 round.

He grows a metallic scaly hide which lowers his AC to -2.(modified by dexterity and rings and cloaks of protection). His hands lengthen into scythe-like blades, and his strength boosts to 20.(1d12+8/1d12+8, +3 to hit). He gains a MV rate of 36, a magic resistance of 50% and all saves gain a +2 bonus. Also, his face turns into a lizard-like visage, complete with a set of large fangs that do 1d8+8 pts of damage, and the fangs also have poison which does 30 points on a failed save, 15 points on a good save. The casters THAC0 improves by 6 and his HP are doubled.

These effects fade when the duration ends, no enemies are around, or the caster retreats. Desmond invented this because he was sick of being harassed by brawny fighter types and he really felt like scaring them away.
