DESCRIPTION

You lance a foe with poison which coils in the foe’s heart to punish any aggression against you.

You infect the target with an incurable and deadly poison by making a successful ranged touch attack. 

The target immediately suffers 8d6 points of acid damage and the acid continues to affect the target, dealing 4d6 points of damage on the second round, 2d6 on the third and 1d6 on the fourth.

The poison deals 1d6 Constitution damage per round for 6 rounds. The target can make a Fortitude save each round to negate the Constitution damage for that round. If the afflicted targets you or moves closer to you, the frequency of the poison is doubled and it becomes more potent, requiring two saving throws at a -4 penalty and inflicting damage twice per round, though its duration is halved. 

Only a miracle, remove curse, or wish spell can halt the poison before it runs its course.
