Sting of the Gold Scorpion

The dried out barb of the gold scorpion once more seethes with poison as you finish casting your spell, being careful not to hurt yourself on the barb.

You magically enliven the barb of a gold scorpionʹs tail and immediately make a normal melee attack against a living creature. (You are considered armed and do not provoke an attack of opportunity.) If you hit the target with the scorpion barb, the victim suffers as if he had been stung by a real gold scorpion. He must make a Fortitude save immediately or suffer 1d6 points of temporary Strength damage. The victim must make a second Fortitude save 1 minute later. If the secondary save fails, the victim suffers 1d4 points of temporary Strength damage. This spell does not affect creatures immune to natural venoms or poisons. The barb becomes useless once it is used.
