 Scroll Information | |
| Scarce: | No |
If you wish to permanently kill someone this can drastically speed the process up. It can also be used to keep most undead down.
Description
This spell can be used to steal the sparks of the living making it temporarily impossible to revive them, for about an hour. It can also be used to make sure various undead creatures don't regenerate if you don't have an appropriate damage source. Some rare undead require this spell to keep them down.
Effect
Target another character who is dead or has a Torso Wound condition. This inflicts a killing blow, and if successful, the target's spark is taken. The target gains the Sparkless condition and you gain the Stolen Spark condition.
When this is used on undead, this causes a killing blow which counts for meeting a kill condition if appropriate, but no spark is taken.

The Stolen Spark Condition
A character with the Stolen Spark condition has taken the spark of another individual, typically through the Reap Spirit spell. A character can only have this condition once, unless another ability specifically allows them to carry more sparks. Attempts to take additional sparks fail automatically, but can still might take place to meet kill conditions.
Diagnosis does not reveal the Stolen Spark condition.
If a Medium checks this character's spark they will automatically detect this condition, but they will not know who the stolen spark belongs to.
This condition may not be ended voluntarily. There are only three ways to end the Stolen Spark condition: time (1 hour), if the person with the Stolen Spark condition is killed (gaining the Dead condition, or help from a Medium trained in returning sparks to their owners. When any of these circumstances take place this condition immediately ends and any held sparks are returned. This can sometimes lead to strange situations where a player is physically no where near the player who's spark was taken. Player's should collaborate to relay that information as quickly and efficiently as possible so that the victim becomes aware they no longer have the Sparkless condition.

| Stolen Spark | This character has used magic to take another beings spark. | 1 hour | Reap Spirit | Mediums, time, death |
The Sparkless Condition
A character without a spark gains the Sparkless condition. This can only be fixed by returning that character's spark to them. A spark naturally returns to its owner after an hour, ending this condition. Some very rare effects can hold a spark longer than an hour. A player using one of these abilities will notify the victim who's spark is being taken at the time it happens if this is the case.
If for some reason they do not already have it, taking someone's spark always gives the Torso Wound condition and the Dead condition. This cannot be prevented if a spark is taken.
For as long as the character has the Sparkless condition: Wound conditions cannot be removed and body points may not be healed.
If a Medium checks, this character's spark they will automatically detect this condition.

| The character's spark is missing. They are dead and can't be healed without getting their spark back. | 1 Hour (Typically) | Reap Spirit | Mediums, killing the person with your spark |
