This spell allows the wizard to steal 2d6 years from a victim and add them to his own life. The victim must be human and of a level equal to or greater than that of the wizard. If the victim is of lower level, the number of years transferred is multiplied by the victim's level and divided by the necromancer's. Since the victim must be in the centre of a pentagram at the completion of the casting, it is useful to have him held or immobilised in some way. The reverse spell, give life, works in the same fashion, except that the wizard ages 2d6 years while the recipient becomes younger, and the recipient must be willing. In either case, the material components are a black candle, a white candle, a drop of blood from both parties, and a specially prepared glass screen.
