Keyword	Necromancy. Shaped
Prerequisite	Decay(Nature-Anima) Affinity
Target	Creature touched
Duration	1 round per BCB; or until discharged
Range	Touch
Action	4 AP
Saving throw	None
Spell resistance	No
Description	The creature successfully touched by this spell has the effectiveness of healing reduced on them. Until the effect ends, whenever the target is subject to a healing spell or supernatural effect that heals hit points, the target only receives half the healing(rounded down). Once you’ve prevented 5 hit points of healing per BCB with this spell, the spell is discharged. You may spend 1 spell point as part of casting to cause the healing prevented by life thief to be redirected to you. You must remain within 25 feet + 5 feet per two BCB of the target to gain this benefit.
Special	When applying a shape talent to this spell, you target creatures within the area with a Resilience(Psy) save attack. A failed Resilience(Psy) save attack negates the effects of the spell.

General Life Thief Talents

Greater Life Link

Spell	Life Thief
Prerequisite	Greater Life Thief, BCB 8th
Target	One creature
Duration	10 minutes per BCB
Range	Close
Saving throw	Resilience(Psy) negates
Benefit	You may spend an additional spell point when casting life thief to reverse its effects, causing yourself to only take half damage from effects that deal hit point damage, and the targeted creature to take the damage prevented by this spell. If you fail at the Resilience(Psy) save attack or move beyond the range of the spell, the effect immediately ends and the spell does not prevent damage.
Special	This talent may not be combined with shape talents.

Life Link

Spell	Life Thief
Prerequisite	Life Thief, BCB 4th
Target	One creature
Duration	10 minutes per BCB
Range	Close
Saving throw	Resilience(Psy) negates
Benefit	You may spend a spell point to form a mystical pact between you and another creature rather than the usual effects of life thief. Once the bond is taken the targeted creature takes only half damage from all sources that do hit point damage. Any damage prevented by this ability is instead taken by you. If you and the targeted creature move out of the spell’s range from each other, the spell immediately ends.
Special	This talent may not be combined with shape talents.

Life Pact

Spell	Life Thief
Prerequisite	Life Thief, BCB 4th
Target	One creature per BCB, no two of which can be more than 30 feet apart.
Duration	Concentration or 1 minute per BCB
Range	Close
Saving throw	Resilience(Psy) negates
Benefit	You may spend a spell point to form a mystical pact between multiple creatures rather than the usual effects of life thief. If any target within the pact is reduced to fewer than 0 hit points, the target drains hit points from nearby targets of the pact. They may drain up to 5 hit points from creatures within the pact within 30 feet; this cannot drain a creature below 0 hit points. Hit points drained in this way are granted to the creature, and may prevent them from dying, but may not raise the creature above 0 hit points.

Vampiric Touch

Spell	Life Thief
Prerequisite	Life Thief, BCB 4th
Saving throw	none
Duration	(See Text)
Benefit	When casting life thief you may spend a spell point to instead cause the spell to steal life force directly from the target creature. Instead of its usual effect of life thief you instead deal 1d6 points of decay damage per two BCB to the targe. You gain temporary hit points equal to the damage dealt; these temporary hit points last one hour. You may spend an additional spell point to allow the normal effects of life thief to occur in addition to the effects of vampiric touch; and may spend an additional spell point to redirect healing. Special: when applying a shape talent to this spell, you target creatures within the area with a Resilience(Psy) save attack. A failed Resilience(Psy) save attack deals half damage, and negates the effects of life thief if the caster chose to spend the additional spell point to apply the effects of life thief to the vampiric touch.
