Open wounds
Open wounds is the internal name for the lowest level clerical spell (though it is never referred to in the game as such) and can be cast by any clerical monster. It will deal an amount of damage equivalent to (half the monster's level)d6, which can be halved by possessing a "half spell damage" artifact (e.g. the Eye of the Aethiopica).
This damage is exactly the same as the monster spell Psi bolt, although the messages are different.
