You smear yourself with white paste, drawing a skull on your bare flesh. Immediately a wreath of black flames crackles to life around you.
The black flames created by this spell injure creatures that contact them. Any creatures striking you with its body or hand-held weapons takes 1d4 points of damage +1 point per two caster levels (maximum +10). If the creature has spell resistance, it applies to the damage. Weapons with reach, such as longspears, do not endanger their users in this way.
