Bone Flense

Choose a creature that you can see. When that creature is struck by a weapon wielded by a member of the Red Mantis, a sawtooth sabre, or by the claw of a giant mantis, the bone nearest to the wound instantly sprouts jagged, razor-sharp spurs that flense the muscle and flesh from the inside out unless the target succeeds at a Fortitude save. The creature takes (min(10,CASTERLEVEL))d6 points of piercing damage. While the bone returns to normal immediately after dealing damage, the creature takes 1d4 points of bleed damage for (CASTERLEVEL/2) rounds. The victim is sickened by the pain for the duration of the bleeding. If the target creature has no bones, this spell has no effect.
