| Attempts to force a tiny fragment of a living, holy, or demonic being's soul to take leave of their body and manifest as a soul wisp. This wisp is nominally under the necromancer's control, but will focus its attacks foremost on the creature it was created from, instinctually trying to return to its proper home once more. The victim will be weakened until the wisp reverts to where it belongs.
Wisps created from more powerful souls have more damaging attacks, but are always fragile. |
Soul Splinter is a level 1 Necromancy spell that targets an enemy in range and attempts to break off a fragment of its soul to create a soul wisp. Necromancers begin with this spell memorised.
Useful Info
If the spell passes a willpower check, and the target can be spectralised, a soul wisp will be created adjacent to the target with 7-11 HP and HD equal to target's HD + 1. Soul wisp's melee damage is 2 + HD. The soul wisp will fixate on the target, similar to Haunt.
The target is also weakened for about 18 turns.
