Mermaid's Gasp

This spell is a part of the Scorpion Jab spell chain and is found in the Scorpion Jab rune stone.

This cruel spell causes the target to drown on air. The target must submerge its head (or however it breaths) in water to survive. If there is no water nearby, the target will protect the aquamancer  and beg the aquamancer to cast water spells such as drown upon it. If 3 rounds go by with no relief, the target passes out, but doesn't die. However, the spell is in effect for 4 rounds, so if the target gets within a body of water (or the spell Drown), the target will actually drown to death on the fourth round.
