Effects
This spell was developed by Baron Karza, and so far as is known only his priests make use of it. When this spell is cast, the priest points a hand at the targeted individual, who must then save vs. death magic. Failure means the subject’s heart is literally tom from his or her breast, ripping through any covering clothing or armor in the process. It flies toward the caster’s hand, where it can he grasped, and the subject dies instantly. A victim who makes a successful saving throw only takes damage equal to that of a cause serious wounds spell (2d8+1). Creatures larger than man-size are not affected by this spell.
