This spell creates an area of intense blackness filled with unseen chewing teeth and ravenous maws. This functions as deeper darkness but any creature beginning its turn within the hungry darkness is gnawed and slashed by unseen fangs of force, dealing 3d6 points of force damage and 2 points of Constitution damage per round. Once a creature leaves the cloud, it continues to take 1d6 points of bleed damage each round until it receives magical healing or enters an area of bright light. Spell resistance can prevent damage from the hungry darkness but does not against the darkness itself.
