Notes

• Cast by Viconia DeVir after using Castigate Heartform on a character to professed to fearing "Spiders" during the Mapping of the Heart.
• The  Frightened condition applies to the castigated target, while the polymorphing condition applies to Viconia and two of her allies. Interestingly, this beneficial polymorphing still triggers a Saving Throw.
• The spider transformations function similarly to a Wild Shape, with the character returning to its previous form after the spider's hit points are depleted.
