Slay Living

The orb has revealed another spell to Lorien:

Slay Living

5th-level necromancy

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: 5 feet

Duration:  Instantaneous

  You can slay any one living creature.  You infuse a weapon with enough necromantic energy to immediately slay your enemy.   You succeed on a melee attack with a weapon you are wielding, and channel necromantic energy through the weapon.

  You must succeed at a melee attack, the subject can avoid death with a successful Con save. If she succeeds, she instead takes 3d6 points of damage +1 point per caster level. (Of course, the subject might die from damage even if she succeeds at her save.)

  At higher levels:  When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the damage increases by 2d6.
