In the hands of a novice spell-caster, this spell instantaneously snuffs out the life forces of small rodents and vermin within 1 cubic foot per level (up to 10 creatures or 10 cubic feet maximum), including such normal pests as flies, mice, beetles, rats, spiders, and the like. Only creatures with 1–3 hp per caster level (9 hp maximum) and intelligence less than 3 can be exterminated. More powerful wizards can thus affect bigger pests, including large spiders, stirges, poisonous snakes, and giant or huge centipedes. If the targeted creatures are extremely small (1 hp or less), then an area up to 1 cubic foot per level (10 cubic feet maximum) can be cleansed of pests.

This spell is well-suited to indoor or outdoor applications and is a favorite among necromancers who live among pestilence. Occasionally, cruel mages have been known to exterminate benign animals (and sometimes even others' pets) with the spell. The somatic gesture is a pointed finger, while you verbalizes a low zzzt sound. The material components are a pinch of lavender and dried garlic.
