This offensive spell functions much like a curse, transforming the recipient's tongue into a long worm with a vicious mouth at its end. The affected victim cannot speak while the tongue is so transformed. Immediately upon transformation, the worm pushes itself out of the victim's mouth and begins attacking the owner. The worm has an armour class of 8 , 12 hit points, a movement speed of 10' per round, and inflicts 1d4+1 points of damage per bite. The worm takes it's turn immediately after it's owner. If the worm is slain the victim loses the ability to speak for 3d4 hours. If Wormtongue is dispelled, the tongue regrows immediately and loss of speech does not occur.
