The caster of this focused spell must gain something
of his target; a bit of hair, clothing, or any other object will do. From this
object, the mage manufactures a focus that directs the energies of this spell
to the target. During the formation of the focus, the mage intones the spell,
binding an element of death into the focus, and therefore onto the person. The
focus usually resembles an object the target keeps with him, such as a belt
buckle, a ring a bracelet, etc. After the casting the mage must place this
object into the bedroom of the intended victim, or give it to them before the
next dawn. When the target first sleeps within 100 meters of the focus,
generate the spell total. Compare the effect value with the target's Spirit and
read the result off the Power Push chart. The spell has a result modifier point
modifier of 6, which reflects the power that death has over the living. Read
the result points on the combat results table to find spiritual damage. The
spell generates a bonus for damage once each time the victim sleeps. The effect
of the spell is controlled. Unless the damage from the current attack exceeds
the damage level the target currently suffers from, the spell does no damage. From
the first night on, the target of the spell dreams of his death, and each dream
depicts a different version of his death. The target will begin to appear sad and
melancholy. He will always seem depressed and becomes very pessimistic about
everything. While the spell has the result of death, the limited effect make it
possible to recover from the wounds, except for one wound, which once inflicted
shall not heal for the duration of the spell. The purpose of the spell is to
cause the victim a lingering nightmare-ridden death.
