Casting Time:  1 turn
Area of Effect:  1-yard per level radius
Saving Throw:  None

By use of this spell, the preserver drains the life force of plants in the area of effect to one third of their full life force. Thus, plants will weaken, but they will regain their strength in a relatively short time. This energy is then stored in the preserver that has cast the spell, and can be used to revitalize a section of defiled soil of an area one ninth the size of the area of effect. The energy can be stored for 3 turns plus one turn per level of the wizard, during which period he cannot cast any other spells.
The material component for this spell is a drop of water. This spell can - of course - only be cast by a preserver.
