Critical Success The creature is unaffected.
Success The creature takes half damage.
Failure The creature takes full damage and is exposed to leechlichen.
Critical Failure The creature takes double damage and is exposed to leechlichen. The results of its saving throw against the leechlichen are treated as one step worse.
