Description:
Creates a spectral head(s) that ignore armor and feast on targets, immune to physical attacks, however X-ray, Gamma
Radiation and Cosmic Radiation type energy weapons will inflict half damage, otherwise they can only be harmed by
Sorcery, Psionics or Miracles. (This includes Sorcerous Weapons.)
Each Ghostly Devourer will have 1HD, plus one more for every three full levels of the invoking cultist, in addition for
every three full levels of the cultist the Ghostly Devourer will have +2 DR against any attack form used against it.
The areas so "Consumed" by the bites of the Ghostly Devourer don't actually get eaten but the flesh begins to quickly
suffer from necrosis, much like the bite of a Brown Recluse spider, but much more devastating. In addition, every hour
afterwards, the victims must make Fortitude saves vs poison/toxin (with a -1 for every three full levels of the invoking
cultist) or the necrosis spreads for another 1D4 damage every hour afterwards, unless such bites must be treated, cured
or burned away in some way. Those who rot to death from this have a 10% per level/HD of returning within 1D4 days as
a Disease Guardian.
