This spell allows a necromancer to link the life of a living being to an undead creature. The undead can now draw on the hit points of the victim for combat purposes. The victim suffers the injuries that the undead normally would. This of course makes taking prisoners much more useful. There is a limit of one linked victim per undead. The link is broken by a dispel magic or when the affected living creature dies. The material component of this spell is an iron claw.
