Descriptor: death, negative
Components: verbal, somatic

Area of effect: single
Duration: instant

Spell resistance: yes
Additional counterspells: death ward
Description: The target must make a fortitude save or die. Even if the saving throw is successful, the target takes 3d6 points of negative energy damage, +1 point per caster level.
Notes[]
- The caster must make a successful melee touch attack on the target.
- The touch attack occurs after the spell resistance check, which might consume spell mantles needlessly.
- The save is versus death, but neither descriptor provides immunity to this spell as a whole. Immunity to death magic applies if the save is failed, while immunity to negative energy damage applies if the save succeeds. Perhaps unintentionally, death-immune targets are better off failing the save.
- Due to a .2da bug, death ward is not an additional counterspell of this spell.
