You instantly excavate a 10-foot square, 10-foot deep pit lined with sharpened spikes. The Perception DC to notice the pit is equal to your spell save DC. A creature that enters the area must attempt a Reflex save. On a failure, it falls into the pit, taking 1d6 falling damage and 1d6 piercing damage; additionally, the creature must attempt a Fortitude save. On a failure, the creature takes a –10 status penalty to its speed. On a critical failure the creature is afflicted with goblin pox, per the goblin pox spell. A successful Medicine check against your spell save DC, or magical healing, removes the status penalty to speed. A creature attempting to Climb out of the pit and critically failing its Athletics check falls into the pit, taking damage as above.
