Spell Name: Lesser Dark Necromancy

School: Necromancy (Evil)

Level: Sor/Wiz 6, Clr 5

Components: V, S, M

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: Special (5’ radius per caster level)

Target or Effects or Area: All creatures within range

Duration: Instantaneous

Saving Throw: Fortitude (Negates)

Spell Resistance: Yes

By means of this spell the caster is able to absorb the life energy from those around him or her. The range of this power is 5’ per caster level. All within range must make a fortitude save or else have 1hp per 3 levels of the caster drained from them. (I.e. a 9th level caster will drain 3hp from all within 45 feet of him.) The hp will be used to power a necromantic spell of the casters choice. Up to a maximum of 40hp can be siphoned by use of this spell. For every 10 hit points stolen in this way the caster is able to duplicate one spell level of the Necromancy school. (I.e. if 30hp are stolen then the caster can cast any one necromantic spell that he or she knows of 3rd level or less, without material components, and regardless of whether he or she has it prepared.) If more than 40hp are drained the remainder is lost. The spell can only duplicate one spell regardless of how many HP are siphoned.


Material Component: A mummified leech

(There is talk of a greater version of this spell that drains 1hp per 2 levels of the caster. Up to 60hp can be siphoned and it can duplicate necromancy spells of up to 6th level. It is Sorc/Wiz 8 and Clr 7. In all other ways it is the same as the above spell. )
