Steal Psionic Strength (Priest Spell)

This spell steals 1d8 PSPs per level of the caster (to a maximum of 10d8 PSPs) from a being with psionic abilities and transfers them to the priest casting the spell. The target creature receives a saving throw vs. spell to avoid the effect. If the creature has fewer PSPs than are stolen, then the priest receives all the creature's remaining PSPs. The bonus PSPs are used first when the priest engages in psionic activity, whether it be a psionic attack, defense, or power. Stolen PSPs that are not used before the spell ends dissipate without effect.
The spell dissipates without effect if the target creature and/or the caster has no psionic ability or if the creature has 0 (zero) PSPs. Psionic defense modes cannot block the theft of PSPs by this spell, but magical defenses such as a ring of mind shielding or certain spells granting impervious mind shielding block the effect.
The material component is the priestess's holy symbol, which is touched to her brow during the casting of the spell.
Notes: Granted by the duergar goddess Deep Duerra.
