Sticks to Snakes

Range	30 ft.
Duration	2 rounds per level
Area of Effect	1 stick per level
Casting Time	2 rounds
Saving Throw	none
Level	cleric (4th); druid (5th)

Transforms sticks into poisonous snakes, which then obey the commands of the caster.

Sticks must be longer than 18 inches and no more than 1 inch thick, but may be ordinary twigs, branches, torches, spears and so on, but not living parts of an existing plant. The cleric may supply his or her own sticks.

Once transformed, the sticks are able to move 5’ per round and attack as 1 hit dice creatures. They have only 1 hit point, but are small and hard to hit, so they are considered AC 4. Each snake upon hitting an enemy will cause 1-2 damage from the bite, and 8 damage from poison. This shall be reduced to 1 damage if the victim saves vs. poison.

Wooden items held by others, corresponding to the shape and length above, may be transformed so long as they are in range, but magical items may not.

The reverse, snakes to sticks, will transform snakes to sticks for the duration of the spell — but the cleric is limited to changing 1 hit dice per level.
