Nightmare

Regular; Resisted by Will 
When cast on a sleeping subject, this spell causes a nightmare of the caster’s choice. Knowledge of the subject’s fears and phobias gives a +2 to effective skill. The subject gets an IQ-4 roll to realize the nightmare was caused by hostile magic. If the spell succeeds, the subject gets no rest from the night’s sleep, and instead loses 2 FP. Dispel Magic will stop the nightmare while it is occurring, preventing FP loss. This spell is also countered by the Peaceful Sleep spell. 
If the spell is recast the next night, the effects are cumulative. If the subject’s FP falls to zero due to this spell, he falls into a coma and will lose 1d HP each day until he dies, unless Dispel Magic is cast.

Duration: 1 hour. 
Cost: 6. 
Time to cast: 1 minute. 
Prerequisites: Magery 2, Magic and Abilities/Spells/Necromantic Spells/Death Vision, Fear, and Sleep.
