Darkfire of Beshaba (Priest Spell)

This spell enables the caster to emit a jet of black flame from his hand or eyes. The flame is oily, cool to the touch, and has no effect on flam­mable materials – it harms only living things. If the flame comes from the caster's hand, a touch (successful attack) by the caster inflicts 1d4 points of damage, plus 1 additional point per level (1d4+10 points maximum). If the flame jets from the caster's eyes, it has a range of 15 feet. A suc­cessful attack roll is required to inflict damage, which is only half as much as a successful touch (round up).
An undead is restored by darkfire and regains lost hit points equal to the damage the spell inflicts upon living things. This spell can also knit together severed undead body parts, restoring them to a functioning whole. The parts must be brought into contact and properly assembled before the darkfire is applied, and the spell must manifest across the breakage. Only one break per level of the caster can be rejoined by this means. Severed skeletal limbs often involve multiple bone breakages.
The material component is a pinch of ash from a cremated mammal.
Notes: Granted by Beshaba, the Maid of Misfortune, of the Forgotten Realms setting.
This spell is found only in a few exceptionally rare tomes.
