Spell Description
Make a melee unarmed Strike. If you hit and the target is alive, anytime during the duration, you can spend a single action, which has the auditory and concentrate traits, to speak a word of death that could instantly slay it. The target must attempt a Fortitude save.
Critical Success The target survives, the spell ends, and the target is then temporarily immune for 24 hours.
Success The target is Stunned 1 and takes 5*@item.level damage, the spell ends, and the target is then temporarily immune for 24 hours.
Failure The target is Stunned 3 and takes 10*@item.level damage. The spell's duration continues, but the target is then temporarily immune for 24 hours against being killed by touch of death.
Critical Failure The target dies.
If you cast touch of death again, the effects of any touch of death you had previously cast end.
Heightened (+1) The damage increases by 10 on a failure, or 5 on a success.
