Torture (Evocation) 

Range: 25'+5'/level

Components: V,S,M

Duration: 1 round/every 2 levels

Casting Time: 1 segment

Area of Effect: 1 person

Saving Throw: Special

 By using this spell, the caster can physically cause wounds of torture. This spell only works on one man-sized or smaller humanoid per casting.

Each round the victim takes 1D8 HP of damage; half damage if the character saves vs. spells. If the victim fails to save, the quick, sharp and unexpected pains will make it necessary for him to save vs. his strength. If he fails this save, the victim has a -5 to hit and damage. The save vs. strength must be made every round that the spell is in effect. Any time a character takes over half his hit-points in cumulative damage while the spell is in effect, he will offer to surrender or attempt to flee if surrender is not accepted.

The material component is a knife, which is used to make a small cut on the thumb tip of the caster. Concentration is not required to continue the spell after the first round.
