VITRIOLIC STREAM (1350)
Syntax: cast 'vitriolic stream' This spell creates an opening to the Para-Elemental Plane of Ooze, from which bursts forth a stream of an acidic substance onto the chosen target. The caster can direct this stream, using it to burn the flesh of their foe for so long as the distance between caster and target is not too great. Maintaining the accuracy of the stream requires some concentration, but not so much that the caster cannot do other things. This degree of focus required still allows for a goodly range of actions, but casting other spells or manipulating magical devices will surely be too distracting. As the portal remains open for an increasing time, it will become smaller and the stream will become weaker, but holding it open requires no additional energy once the spell's initial cost is paid. To learn Vitriolic Stream, an invoker must first master Gel (Para-Elemental Ooze).
