You cause a terrifying rain to begin falling from the sky within a 100-foot-radius centered on you.

Rain of terror can manifest in a variety of grotesque and horrifying ways, from torrents of hot blood to a hail of writhing snakes.

Regardless of its form, this gruesome rain has all the effects of heavy rain, lightly obscuring everything within the area, as well as extinguishing open flames.

The animals and effects of this spell are summoned, not illusory, but you have no control over them. Living creatures that rain down are 50% likely to survive. Thus, after a rain of toads, half are alive and hopping around and the other half are dead, killed by the impact. None of these animals are dangerous or able to harm anyone, yet their presence is no less unnerving.

Roll on the following chart to see how rain of terror manifests with each casting. If you wish, you can make a DC 20 Fortitude to concentrate on controlling the type of rain (failure results in a random roll).

Dark clouds gather overhead, releasing a spectral downpour that instills fear in the hearts of those beneath. Each phantom droplet carries whispers of dread, creating an atmosphere of haunting unease.
