Life Steal - Savant

This spell allows the savant to leech up to 1 hit point per level from a living (that is, not a construct or undead) human or humanoid and bestow it upon himself or another within a time limit of three rounds. The leeched hit points can increase the recipient's hit points beyond his normal maximum, and last up to one hour. Any damage suffered is first subtracted from these additional hit points.

Notes: Restricted to savants; common.
