Casting Time:  9
Area of Effect:  Creature touched
Saving Throw:  Negates

This spell affects only creatures up to 13/4 the caster's level or Hit Dice. The victim of the spell must make a saving throw versus death magic (with a -4 modifier to the saving throw). Failing this saving throw results in the victims death, utterly, with no hope of resurrection unless a divine being raises him. The caster can use this stolen life to do one of 5 things:
•	Waste it, soul is destroyed, a great howling is heard.
•	Use to heal self for 1d6 per level of victim.
•	Use to hurt another for 1d8 per level victim.
•	Pervert it, changes victim into an equal Hit Dice undead, determined at random.
•	Destroy an equal number of Hit Dice of undead with no saving throw.
