Horrible taste

Horrible taste was a type of transmutation spell.

Effects
When cast, this spell changed the caster's flesh in such a way that it became inedible. As a result, if the caster was bit while this spell was in effect, the attacking creature was struck with overwhelming nausea. However, this spell was useless against creatures who possessed a natural immunity to poison.

Components
This spell required verbal and somatic components.

History
Horrible taste was one of four original spells created by the Chauntean druid Bryn Kernwyld, and published in the book Earthmother's Weapons. While the precise creation date of the spell was unknown, sages agreed that it was likely anterior to 1000 DR. The spell was devised by Byrn to help her brethren during the wars which opposed the forces of Malar and Bhaal and the civilized people of the Moonshae Isles. It proved a great help to minimize the damage wars caused to the surrounding nature.

After its creation, knowledge of this spell was passed down between druids by oral tradition, while the actual tome was kept safe by senior members of their order.

Long after its creation, Bryn's book found itself in the hands of a Malarite druid going by the name of Galast. Ignoring the origin of the book, Galast learnt and used the spells described therein. His deity, considering the spells useful, granted him access to these spells.
