Description: Causes multiple deep, gouged gashes to be chiseled into the victim.

If successful and cast at full strength, victims can bleed out in less than a minute. Victims are often described as resembling a scored piece of meat. Attempts to move the victim are usually fruitless as it just causes the gashes to spread and the victim to bleed out faster.
