You point your finger upward and utter a curt shout. Immediately, a razor-sharp stalagmite bursts from the ground to impale your foe.

This spell creates a stalagmite about 1 foot wide at its base and up to 10 feet tall. The stalagmite grows from the ground under the target creature and shoots upward.

The stalagmite deals 1d6 points of piercing damage per caster level (maximum 10d6). In addition, a target that fails to make a saving throw against this spell and takes damage from it is impaled on the stalagmite and cannot move from its current location. The victim can break free with a DC 25 Strength check, although doing this deals it 3d6 points of slashing damage.

A creature's damage reduction, if any, applies to the damage from this spell. The damage from sudden stalagmite is treated as piercing for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
