Obsidian Death

This spell channels the negative energy of the Black through an obsidian orb or shard. It can only be cast if the obsidian has been prepared using orb of power and energy conduit to store energy within it. Using the stored energy, the wizard causes damage to a living being. Obsidian death causes 1d8 damage for every spell level the wizard has “stored” within the orb. Those targeted by the spell are allowed a saving throw vs. death magic. If successful, they take only half damage from the spell. Anyone killed outright by the damage is completely turned to ash.

This spell is like training to become a dragon. Only defilers will use this spell. The material component for the spell is the obsidian used in it, which shatters.
