-'''Kiss of Death''' is a level 1 [[Conjurations]]/[[Necromancy]] spell that deals heavy damage (for a level 1 spell) at the cost of HP [[drain]]. This spell will never miss, but it does checks [[AC]]. If the spell succeeds, then you will be drained for roughly 13.3% maximum HP - equal to that of [[Ru]]'s Apocalypse. At XL 1-2, this equates to 1-2 max HP.

-Kiss of Death is vital to Reaver starts. It can be your only option to fight dangerous monsters like [[gnoll (monster)|gnolls]] on D:1 or [[adder]]s on D:2. If the choice is to die fighting or at least try casting this spell, the choice is obvious. Keep in mind that, while it can't miss, this spell can miscast or lowroll 2d1. So like with all consumables in ''Crawl'', use it early. For Reavers, it can be worthwhile to train 1-2 points of Necromancy to lower spell failure.

-If you find Kiss of Death past D:1-3 or so, it is of limited use, since the spell becomes weak for the amount of draining it causes. One of the few benefits is that it never misses, so it can be used to finish off monsters who'd otherwise have a chance to kill you. In terms of damage, this spell is ultimately weaker than [[Stone Arrow]].
