  "description": "SRD spells/shard-of-chaos.md: evocation [chaotic], level 2 (cleric/oracle/warpriest), range close, dart-shaped projectile of chaotic energy delivered as a ranged touch attack, Will partial, spell resistance yes. A lawful creature struck takes 1d8 points of damage per two caster levels (maximum 5d8) and, on a failed Will save, is slowed for 1 round; a successful Will save halves the damage and negates the slow. The bolt has no effect on chaotic creatures (alignment_gate immune) and deals only half damage to creatures neither lawful nor chaotic, without the slow (alignment_gate neutral halving). Simplifications: the SRD's slowed condition is mapped to the engine's staggered condition (the SRD slow entry states a slowed creature is staggered; the -1 penalty and half-speed parts of slow are not modeled); the lawful-outsider variant (1d6 per caster level, maximum 10d6) is not modeled (the engine has no outsider subtype); force damage stands in for chaotic energy (no energy type models it)."
