The number of HD indicated on the table refers to the maximum number of HD a creature may have in order to be subjected to the corresponding effect. The effects are cumulative and concurrent. For example, an evil creature with 10 HD caught in a good-aligned Word of God is nauseated and deafened.
Augment: For every additional spell point you spend, the number of HD indicated in each row of the first column of the Word of God table increases by 1.
