Description: You utter a divine word of power that devastates creatures of the opposite alignment. When you prepare this spell, you select the type of word you will utter with the casting. If you are evil you may select a blasphemy (targeting good creatures); if good, you may select a holy word (targeting evil creatures); if lawful, you may select a dictum (targeting chaotic creatures); and if you are chaotic, you may select a word of chaos to target lawful creatures. You may not select more than one word, even if your alignment makes it possible.
When casting the spell, you unleash the divine word you have prepared. Only those creatures in range of the correct alignment are affected by your word, even if they can't hear it. The effect depends on each target's Hit Dice. The effects are cumulative and concurrent. No saving throw is allowed against these effects. Creatures whose HD exceed your caster level are unaffected by holy word.
