| DESCRIPTION: This spell draws upon
the energy from recently-dead beings to power the caster's magic. The more dead
beings nearby, the more power the caster can draw upon. For every dead being
within ten feet of the caster, the caster gains one spell level. These spell
levels can be combined to form a few higher-level spells or several lower-level
ones. The exact method of using these levels is determined when the spell is to
be cast-that is, when the caster wants to use these spell levels. No components
vocal, somatic, or material - are necessary. These spell levels must be used
before the end of the spell's duration. Not using the extra spell levels is a
very bad idea-all the energy backfires into the caster's brain. He takes 1d4
damage for each unused spell level.
The material components of this spell are the corpses that are drained and
the blood from any form of undead creature. This spell only works on creatures
that have been dead for a number of days equal to the caster's level. |
