Though the original purposes of this spell are unknown, they were assuredly not pleasant. It has long been speculated that having one's skin flayed off is one of the most painful processes imaginable, and to convert this abhorrent practice into a spell would be the work of an evil entity, indeed.

This terrible necromantic spell sends a terrible soul of a skin dancer into the body of a target, which causes him to bleed profusely from all orifices for a sustained duration. At the beginning of this horrible incarnation, the target's flesh is stripped, causing 1D4 slashing damage per level of the caster despite any futile attempts to make a saving throw. For further effects, this spell enables a saving throw against death at -2 or the target will bleed profusely (1 point of damage per second every round for 10 rounds), and this pain will drive him insane. The insanity can only be negated by an additional saving throw if the previous one is somehow unsuccessful.
