Reapers Lay Power
Invoke Sphere 5
Range Self Only
Duration 15 Minutes
Extendable? No
Description This invocation takes a full 5 minutes to cast and requires a consistent and appropriate ceremony to be performed centred upon a casting mat (see the high level casting page). Upon completion the caster has called directly on the Evil Sphere for aid and so may cast a single Evil Ritual Invocation, at normal use of power, using vocals only, without the normal 15 minutes casting time. The Ritual invocation must be cast within 15 minutes of the Invoke, and until it is cast no invocations from other Spheres can be cast nor can another Invoke Sphere be cast. The caster may only cast a Ritual Invocation that he is already capable of casting, no additional casting ability is granted by this invocation.

Invocation Descriptions
Howl of Rage 5
Range Self Only
Duration 15 Minutes
Extendable? No
Description The caster summons Evil Spirits into his body that he may release through his weapon to increase the Physical damage he can inflict. The caster may increase his damage by one rank per blow. Each blow for which the caster uses this invocation to increase his damage causes the caster 1 point of life damage which cannot be prevented in any way.
Only the caster's Physical damage is increased through the use of this invocation, Power and Magic damage is unaffected. The caster should role-play the pain that the invocation causes as he lands each improved blow. This could be a cry of exaltation to his aspect of the Evil Sphere or even a demented cackle depending on the character.
The invocation ends immediately if the caster receives any Cure Wounds Invocation regardless of source.
The maximum damage that may be achieved with this invocation is Quartz.

Description This invocation allows the caster to transfer Life from one person of choice (willing or otherwise) at the rate of Life every thirty seconds detailed below. The caster must concentrate for the duration of the transfer and remain in constant physical contact with the target. Once contact or concentration is broken the invocation is ended, but until then any amount of Life can be transferred. The Life so stolen enters the casting character himself.
Rank | Life Stolen per 30 seconds | Time to steal 1 point of life |
1 | 1 | 30 |
2 | 2 | 15 |
3 | 4 | 8 |
4 | 8 | 4 |
5 | 16 | 2 |
Life can never be taken over the caster's normal maximum and the invocation ends as soon as the victim reaches zero life. The caster must concentrate, without moving, for the duration of the casting and be in constant physical contact with the target. Once contact is broken the invocation is ended, but until then any amount of Life can be transferred at the rates shown above.
The invocation will only work on forms of life close to human such as elves, orcs, dwarves, drow etc. and will not work on Hordelings, trolls, Ogre Magi etc. (referee's discretion).
This invocation causes one point of damage per point of life taken to the donor. The pain is constant, prohibiting spell casting whilst being Life Leeched.
