Ray of Enfeeblement
Necromancy 1 standard action SRD
None - Yes Arc 1, Blg 1, Decay 2, Duskblade 1, Necro 1, Sin-E 2, Sor/Wiz 1 V, S
1 min./level Close General
Effect: Ray

Ray deals 1d6 +1 per two levels Str penalty.

A coruscating ray springs from your hand. You must succeed on a ranged touch attack to strike a target. The subject takes a penalty to Strength equal to 1d6+1 per two caster levels (maximum 1d6+5). The subjects Strength score cannot drop below 1.

Command Undead
Necromancy 1 standard action SRD
Will negates; see text - Yes Necro 2, Sor/Wiz 2 V, S, M
1 day/level Close 1 hour
Targets: One undead creature

Undead creature obeys your commands.

This spell allows you some degree of control over an undead creature. Assuming the subject is intelligent, it perceives your words and actions in the most favorable way (treat its attitude as friendly). It will not attack you while the spell lasts. You can try to give the subject orders, but you must win an opposed Charisma check to convince it to do anything it wouldn't ordinarily do. (Retries are not allowed.) An intelligent commanded undead never obeys suicidal or obviously harmful orders, but it might be convinced that something very dangerous is worth doing.

A nonintelligent undead creature gets no saving throw against this spell. When you control a mindless being, you can communicate only basic commands, such as come here, go there, fight, stand still, and so on. Nonintelligent undead won't resist suicidal or obviously harmful orders.

Any act by you or your apparent allies that threatens the commanded undead (regardless of its Intelligence) breaks the spell.

Your commands are not telepathic. The undead creature must be able to hear you.

Vampiric Touch
Necromancy 1 standard action SRD
None - Yes Arc 3, Blg 3, Duskblade 3, HB 3, Necro 3, Sin-E 4, Sin-G 4, Sor/Wiz 3 V, S
Instant/1 hour; see text Touch General
Target: Living creature touched

Touch* deals 1d6/two levels damage; caster gains damage as HP.

You must succeed on a melee touch attack. Your touch deals 1d6 points of damage per two caster levels (maximum 10d6). You gain temporary hit points equal to the damage you deal. However, you can't gain more than the subject's current hit points +10, which is enough to kill the subject. The temporary hit points disappear 1 hour later.

Enervation
Necromancy [Negative] 1 standard action SRD
None - Yes Decay 4, Duskblade 4, HB 4, Hunger 4, Necro 4, Sor/Wiz 4, Suffering 4 V, S
Instant Close General
Effect: Ray of negative energy

Subject gains 1d4 negative levels.

You point your finger and utter the incantation, releasing a black ray of crackling negative energy that suppresses the life force of any living creature it strikes. You must make a ranged touch attack to hit. If the attack succeeds, the subject gains 1d4 negative levels.

If the subject has at least as many negative levels as HD, it dies. Each negative level gives a creature 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).

Additionally, a spellcaster loses one spell or spell slot from his or her highest available level. Negative levels stack.

Assuming the subject survives, it regains lost levels after a number of hours equal to your caster level (maximum 15 hours). Usually, negative levels have a chance of permanently draining the victims levels, but the negative levels from enervation don't last long enough to do so.

An undead creature struck by the ray gains 1d4x5 temporary hit points for 1 hour.

Waves of Fatigue
Necromancy [Negative] 1 standard action SRD
None - Yes Arc 5, Blg 5, Duskblade 5, Necro 5, Sin-S 6, Sor/Wiz 5 V, S
Instant 30 ft. General
Area: Cone-shaped burst

Several targets become fatigued.

Waves of negative energy render all living creatures in the spell's area fatigued. This spell has no effect on a creature that is already fatigued.

Eyebite
Necromancy [Evil] 1 standard action SRD
Fortitude negates - Yes Brd 6, Necro 6, Orc 6, Scalykind 6, Sor/Wiz 6 V, S
1 round/3 levels; see text Close General
Target: One living creature

Target becomes panicked, sickened, and comatose.

Each round, you may target a single living creature, striking it with waves of evil power. Depending on the targets HD, this attack has as many as three effects.

HDEffect
10 or moreSickened
5-9Panicked, sickened
4 or lessComatose, panicked, sickened

The effects are cumulative and concurrent.

Sickened: Sudden pain and fever sweeps over the subjects body. A sickened creature takes a -2 penalty on attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks. A creature affected by this spell remains sickened for 10 minutes per caster level. The effects cannot be negated by a remove disease or heal spell, but a remove curse is effective.

Panicked: The subject becomes panicked for 1d4 rounds. Even after the panic ends, the creature remains shaken for 10 minutes per caster level, and it automatically becomes panicked again if it comes within sight of you during that time. This is a fear effect.

Comatose: The subject falls into a catatonic coma for 10 minutes per caster level. During this time, it cannot be awakened by any means short of dispelling the effect. This is not a sleep effect, and thus elves are not immune to it.

The spell lasts for 1 round per three caster levels. You must spend a move action each round after the first to target a foe.

Control Undead
Necromancy 1 standard action SRD
Will negates - Yes Arc 7, Blg 7, Necro 7, Sor/Wiz 7, Undeath 7 V, S, M
1 min./level Close 30 minutes
Targets: Up to 2 HD/level of undead creatures, no two of which can be more than 30 ft. apart

Undead don't attack you while under your command.

This spell enables you to command undead creatures for a short period of time. You command them by voice and they understand you, no matter what language you speak. Even if vocal communication is impossible the controlled undead do not attack you. At the end of the spell, the subjects revert to their normal behavior.

Intelligent undead creatures remember that you controlled them.

Horrid Wilting
Necromancy 1 standard action SRD

Instant Long General
Targets: Living creatures, no two of which can be more than 60 ft. apart

Deals 1d6/level damage within 30 ft.

This spell evaporates moisture from the body of each subject living creature, dealing 1d6 points of damage per caster level (maximum 20d6). This spell is especially devastating to water elementals and plant creatures, which instead take 1d8 points of damage per caster level (maximum 20d8).

Energy Drain
Necromancy [Negative] 1 standard action SRD
Fortitude partial; see text - Yes Arc 9, Clr 9, Decay 9, Hunger 9, Necro 9, Sor/Wiz 9, Suffering 9, Thirst 9, Undeath 9 V, S

Effect: Ray of negative energy

Subject gains 2d4 negative levels.

You point your finger and utter the incantation, releasing a black ray of crackling negative energy that suppresses the life force of any living creature it strikes. You must make a ranged touch attack to hit. If the attack succeeds, the subject gains 2d4 negative levels.

If the subject has at least as many negative levels as HD, it dies. Each negative level gives a creature 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).

Additionally, a spellcaster loses one spell or spell slot from his or her highest available level. Negative levels stack.

There is no saving throw to avoid gaining the negative levels, but 24 hours after gaining them, the subject must make a Fortitude saving throw (DC = energy drain spells save DC) for each negative level. If the save succeeds, that negative level is removed. If it fails, the negative level also goes away, but one of the subjects character levels is permanently drained.

An undead creature struck by the ray gains 2d4x5 temporary hit points for 1 hour.
