The Breath of Khalak

Conjuration 

DC to Cast 40

Range:300 ft

The miracle bestows the power of the Breath of Khalak on the casting cleric. The cleric can use the Barrier Effect of the Miracle or all the other effects, this must be stated when the spell is cast.

When used as an attack, the cleric calls forth the Breath Weapon of Khalak from Ishtar’s hand and a breath extends from the clerics holy symbol towards its target. All creatures in the area of effect take 376 points of electrical damage reflex save at 40 for half damage. Immunity to electricity or dragon’s breath provides protection against this attack. The zone of damage is entirely under control of the cleric. All in the area of effect may take damage or the area of effect can be limited to any lesser slice of the greater area up to and including a bolt that strikes only one target creature with no collateral damage. The breath/bolt may extend up to 300 ft and can be controlled to extend to any lesser distance. The breath may be bounced off of non-conducting smooth surfaces (i.e. stone walls) and conducted to all touching and conductive surface upon which the breath hits (in which case maximum distance and area of effect is halved).

            The cleric may also place their life force within this breath if they so desire. In such a case the breath, if used as an attack can alternately act as Possession if it hits the target creature (reflex save at 45 to avoid contact with the breath). The cleric’s soul then occupies the possessed body is a will save DC 40 is failed. If the cleric so chooses, the cleric’s body and items may also be carried magically inside the possessed creature.

The cleric may transform herself entirely into the breath of Khalak, in which case they become a living electrical bolt. This bolt can be conducted up to 150’ in conductive material or travel up to 300’ through the air. The cleric may choose to transform just her soul or her body and items as well. At the end of the range of the bolt the cleric must either retransform into her original form or use the possession function of the breath. If possession is attempted and failed the cleric remains at the place where the breath was issued forth.

            Alternately, the breath of Khalak may also be fashioned into a barrier. The barrier can exist for the entire duration of the spell and will protect against all natural forces and all elemental forces. The barrier protects against energy based attacks which include electricity, fire, winds, cold, sandstorms, and gases. The barrier can only be dispelled by a greater dispel magic cast at 25^th level or by an energy attack that does more than 376 points of damage in a single blow. Creatures attempting to pass the barrier will take 376 points of electrical damage, fortitude save DC 40 for half. The barrier may be fashioned into a wall, sphere, hemisphere or any portion there of. The size of the barrier may cover up to 300’ radius sphere or 300x300ft wall. If the area is consecrated and dedicated to Ishtar, that field of protection may be increased to cover up to a large city. The barrier effect only protects against attacks attempting to penetrate through the barrier and does not provide any protection against attacks launched within the barrier to targets within the barrier. (It is a shell of impassability). This barrier does not protect against non-energy based spells.
