Essence of Lifespark

Level: 5
Duration: Instantaneous
Saving Throw: None
Normal: With soothing words, you revitalize an ally and restore some of his lost vitality. The negative level that affl icted him spirals upward, fading as it rises.
This utterance dispels one negative level and restores one experience level to a creature who has had a level drained. As you dispel the negative level, a shadowy form detaches from your target and drifts upward before dissipating into nothingness. The drained level is restored only if the time since the creature lost the level is equal to or less than one day per truenamer level.
Reverse: You instruct the universe to sap some of the life force of a target creature.
You utter a dark word of power that suppresses the life force of a creature. A shadowy version of your target appears a few feet away, then rushes inward, incorporating itself into your target’s body. The target gains one negative level, giving it a –1 penalty on attack rolls, saving throws, skill checks, ability
checks, and effective level (for determining the power, duration, DC, and other details of spells or special abilities) as well as losing 5 HP per negative level. Additionally, a spellcaster loses one spell or spell slot from her highest available level. Negative levels stack.
