340 XP
Magic Point Cost: 2
Components: V, S, M
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close (25 ft. + 5 ft. per two magic-user levels)
Target: One living creature
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: Reflex half
Prerequisites: [[Raise Corpse]]
Magic Attack Roll: Sets DC for target’s Reflex saving throw
When casting this spell, the caster touches a nearby corpse with one hand and points his other hand at the target, channeling a black ray that blasts and blackens the target’s flesh. The target takes 1d4 points of cold damage per Magic-user level. The caster can attempt to increase the damage dice used from four-sided dice to six-sided dice by making a Fortitude saving throw (DC 18). If this saving throw fails, the spell uses four-sided dice and the damage is evenly divided between the caster and the target (who still gets a Reflex save to further reduce the damage).
Material Component: A corpse, which becomes blackened and withered and cannot be re-used for the same spell.
