You create a phantasmal image of the most fearsome creature imaginable to the subject simply by forming the fears of the subject's subconscious mind into something that its conscious mind can visualize: this most horrible beast.
Only the spell's subject can see the phantasmal killer.
You see only a vague shape.
The target first gets a Will save to recognize the image as unreal.
If that save fails, the phantasm touches the subject, and the subject must succeed on a Fortitude save or die from fear.
Even if the Fortitude save is successful, the subject takes 3d6 points of damage.
If the subject of a phantasmal killer attack succeeds in disbelieving and is wearing a helm of telepathy, the beast can be turned upon you.
You must then disbelieve it or become subject to its deadly fear attack.
