Kiss of the Crane

Effect

A small crane-shaped blade is first anointed with the blood of its target, or otherwise combined with an arcane connection to its intended victim. If the subject is visible, the blade may simply be pointed in their direction, with no need for a connection. When the invocation is cast, the blade leaps into the air and pursues the target, traveling at a rate of a hundred miles an hour to unerringly seek its victim. The magical blade then strikes for 1d6 damage per hit die of the theurge caster, up to a maximum of 10d6. The crane is unerring, but a second crane cannot affect the victim until all injury from the first has healed. Lesser foes cannot resist this spell, but worthy enemies may make an Evasion save to take only half damage.
