Furthermore, undead with less than 3 HD are automatically affected. Those with 3 or more HD are allowed a saving throw to negate the spell. Those affected are rendered ummobile for the duration of the spell.

	Elysium's Tears Range: 90 feet Duration: Instant Speed: 3 Area of Effect: 1 target/meteor Saving Throw: None Weight: 0 The skies of the Upper Planes shed tears when evil is done.

Each missile that hits inflicts 1-2 points of blunt damage and 1-4 points of fire damage. Anyone within 3 feet of the target takes 1 point of fire damage as well.

Weight: 0 What man does not feel their body fill with burning shame when mocked by a woman? Fill the ears of your enemies with the derisive scorn of a woman's laughter. Their bodies shall become clumsy and foolish, easily struck, and confidence shall be leeched from their muscles, weakening their blows. Tasha's Unbearable Derisive Laughter occurs in a 30 ft radius from that spot. All male living creatures with an INT > 4 in range of the spell must make a Saving Throw vs. Spells or get a -2 to their attack, -2 to AC, and -2 to thier damage rolls for 5 seconds / level of the caster.
	Vampiric Touch Range: Touch Duration: Instant Speed: 3 Area of Effect: 1 Creature Touched Saving Throw: None Weight: 0 The spell steals life from the target and transfers it to you. When the player touches a non-undead creature, he drains 1-6 hp from the target for every 2 wizard levels he has (2-12 hp for Lvl 4). The damage that he drains is then transferred to the caster and added to their total hp. Any hp over the normal maximum is treated as 'temporary hit poits' which will be lost after one hour if not used beforehand (absorbing damage).
