Devour Essence

The devour essence spell allows the caster to consume a small portion of his victim's soul, weakening the target while empowering the caster. The hapless victim will lose mana and multiple casting levels for the duration of the spell, while the mage will gain the same. Devour essence may be cast on multiple targets to stack the effects, but no one target may be so victimized more than once at a time. A mage who devours the essence of another will more readily resist being devoured himself; however, should his essence nonetheless be devoured, the entire bonus will transfer to the final mage. Only adventurers may be targeted with this spell; groupmates of the mage will not receive a save against it.
