{{OGL Top}} {{3.5e Spell | name=Energy Drain | school=Necromancy | lvl=[[SRD:Cleric Spell List|Clr]] 9, [[SRD:Sorcerer/Wizard Spell List|Sor/Wiz]] 9 | comp=V, S | casttime=1 [[SRD:Standard Actions|standard action]] | range=Close (25 ft. + 5 ft./2 levels) | tsea=e | subj=Ray of negative energy | dur=Instantaneous | save=[[SRD:Saving Throw|Fortitude]] partial; see text for ''[[SRD:Enervation|enervation]]'' | sr=Yes }} You point your finger and utter the incantation, releasing a black ray of crackling negative energy that suppresses the life force of any living creature it strikes. You must make a ranged [[SRD:Touch Attack|touch attack]] to hit. If the attack succeeds, the subject gains 2d4 [[SRD:Negative Level|negative levels]]. If the subject has at least as many [[SRD:Negative Level|negative levels]] as [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]], it dies. Each [[SRD:Negative Level|negative level]] gives a creature a –1 penalty on [[SRD:Attack Roll|attack rolls]], [[SRD:Saving Throw|saving throws]], [[SRD:Skill Check|skill checks]], [[SRD:Ability Check|ability checks]], and effective level (for determining the power, duration, [[SRD:DC|DC]], and other details of spells or special abilities). Additionally, a spellcaster loses one spell or spell slot from his or her highest available level. [[SRD:Negative Level|Negative levels]] stack. There is no [[SRD:Saving Throw|saving throw]] to avoid gaining the [[SRD:Negative Level|negative levels]], but 24 hours after gaining them, the subject must make a [[SRD:Saving Throw|Fortitude]] [[SRD:Saving Throw|saving throw]] ([[SRD:DC|DC]]=''[[SRD:Energy Drain (Spell)|energy drain]] ''spell’s save [[SRD:DC|DC]]) for each negative level. If the save succeeds, that negative level is removed. If it fails, the negative level also goes away, but one of the subject’s character levels is permanently drained. An [[SRD:Undead Type|undead creature]] struck by the ray gains 2d4x5 temporary [[SRD:Hit Points|hit points]] for 1 hour. {{SRD Spell Footer}} [[Category:Cleric 9|{{BASEPAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Sorcerer/Wizard 9|{{BASEPAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Necromancy School|{{BASEPAGENAME}}]]
