Description¶
The Finger of Death spell snuffs out the victim's life force. The caster points their finger at the victim after the incantation is complete, effectively ripping the life out of the target's body unless a Save vs. Spell is made with a -2 penalty. A creature that successfully saves still receives 2d8+1 points of damage.
