Fangs of retribution

Fangs of retribution was a divine evocation spell that dealt back all the injuries the caster had suffered.

Effect

This bite dealt back all the injuries the caster had suffered from their chosen foe that day; if the targeted creature had not harmed the caster that day, then the fangs had no effect.

Components
The spell required the fang of any type of snake, venomous or not.

History
The fangs of retribution spell appeared within the Tome of Torment, the holiest book of the church of Ilmater, which first appeared in the Realms in 848 DR.
