• Range: Sight of Caster
• Duration: Special
• Casting Time: 4
• Area of Effect: Special
• Saving Throw: Special
• This spell conjures a sphere of glowing emerald acid that the caster can direct to strike any target within range. When it reaches its target, the sphere explodes and drenches the victim in potent acid. The victim suffers 1d4 points of acid damage per caster level, to a maximum of 12d4 points of damage. After the initial damage, the victim must make a saving throw to avoid more damage. If unsuccessful, the victim continues to suffer acid damage in the following rounds, sustaining two less dice of damage each round. For example, an 8th-level wizard inflicts 8d4 damage with this spell on the first round, 6d4 on the second round, 4d4 on the third round, 2d4 on the fourth round, and the spell ends on the fifth round. Each round the victim is entitled to a saving throw vs. spell to avoid further damage.  The vitriolic sphere also splashes acid in a 5-foot radius around the primary target. Any creatures within the splash radius must save vs. polymorph/paralyzation or suffer a splash hit that inflicts 1d4 points of damage per every five levels of the caster.  Splash hits do not cause continuing damage.

Vitriolic Sphere has also been added to Baldur's Gate 2 through SCS BG2 and IWDification.
