Spider Silk

Special; Missile
The caster shoots a strand of spider silk, which stretches from his fingertip
to the target. The strands appear wispy and weightless, but are very strong,
and can support up to 500 pounds without snapping. As a missile, the
strand has 1/2D n/a, Max equal to strand length, Acc 3; use the caster’s
DX-4 or Innate Attack to hit. On a hit, the victim is grappled and immobi-
lized as per the Binding advantage with the Sticky enhancement (see
p. B40). A single strand has an effective ST of 10 and DR 3. Spider Silk takes
triple damage from fire-based attacks.
The caster may shoot as many strands as he has arms from a single
casting of Spider Silk; however, the cost to cast is based on the total length of all
strands created. Thus, a many-armed spider demon can throw half a dozen
strands at once, but it won’t be cheap.
Strands of Spider Silk may also be used to build a web by anchoring suc-
cessive strands between two surfaces. This web creates an area that will
grapple anyone who passes through it; mechanically, this is similar to a
Binding attack with the Sticky and Area Effect enhancements (p. B40).
The web has ST 10 and DR 3, plus 1 ST for each additional strand.

Duration: 1 minute.
Cost: 1 to cast per 5 yards of strand length (maximum 100 yards). Half
that to maintain.
Prerequisites: Magery 1 and two Animal spells.
