Nuisance Spell - Rappel Insects
Have you always wanted to lead a swarm of bumblebees down ropes into the depths of a dungeon? Does the image of a horde of hornets in tac gear, defenestrating at speed set your mind afire? Or perhaps you dream of dropping swiftly along a dangled line like a spider, but your lack of web-spinnners or opposable thumbs is holding you back. Fear not gentle arthropod, we have just the spell for you. Hopefully your degenerate digits can manage the somatic components of casting.
