Corpulence (VH)

Regular; Resisted by HT
The subject’s girth temporarily increases by one level, going from
Skinny to Normal, from Normal to Overweight, from Overweight to Fat, or
from Fat to Very Fat, as applicable (see Build, p. B18, for details). Beyond Very
Fat, the subject’s weight increases by 100% of his base weight (not counting
Fat or Skinny modifiers from this spell or otherwise) per casting. Subjects
already affected resist repeated castings at a cumulative +5 per casting.
In addition to the normal effects of the increased weight, ordinary clothes
will rip; each piece of rigid armor will constrict, inflicting DR/3 points of
crushing damage (round down), and then suffocate. Once the
subject is incapable of moving, he may be suffocated by his own weight.

Duration: 10 minutes.
Cost: 6 to cast. 6 to maintain.
Time to cast: 3 seconds.
Prerequisites: Magery 2, Create Earth, Create Water, and at least four
Body Control spells including Alter Body.
