Lifequench

Lifequench was a perilous spell that augmented another at the expense of a victim's life.
==Effects==
The spell first quenched a target's life, snuffing them out instantly, and then augmented a spell still in the caster's mind to double their normal power, increasing area, damage, and duration. It could be thwarted if the target survived.
==Components==
The first somatic component for the spell was grabbing the target; the spell also had a verbal component.
==History==
In Cormanthyr, as of , the spell was meant only for use in protection of the Coronal; nonetheless, Llombaerth Starym taught it to Elminster and tricked him into casting it to slay Nacacia, another of Llombaerth's apprentices, to augment an antimagic effect atop a hut. Through the scheme, he framed Elminster for Mythanthar's death.
