This spell generates what appears to be clear, pure water, but is in fact a foul secretion known as water of maddening.

The liquid functions in all the same ways as unholy water (see curse water).

In addition, any creature that is anointed with or drinks this fluid must make a Fortitude save. Creatures who drink the liquid take a –4 penalty on their save to resist its effects. 

Success merely causes the creature to become violently ill, vomit the fluid, and become sickened for 1d4 rounds whereas failure indicates the water takes root and drives the victim mad, dealing 1d6 points of Intelligence damage, and twists and deforms the victims body, dealing 1d6 points of Dexterity damage to the poor soul. The subject’s Dexterity and Intelligence cannot drop below 1 as a result of this effect however.

Casting this spell creates approximately 2 ounces, enough for one draft or use (if bottled) as a thrown weapon.

This fluid can be stored indefinitely. Extensive exposure to the liquid (such as drinking nothing else for months at a time) can have other long-term effects on the target, including the development of monstrous deformities or even total transformation into a beast, depending on the GM’s whim (these mutations are rarely, if ever, beneficial to the victim).
