Uses an ally's motivating essence to create a blast of negative energy, draining any living creature it engulfs. The being used to fuel the spell, no matter whether living or construct, is consumed and unmade in the process.

Ghostly Sacrifice is a monster-only spell that destroys one creature allied with the caster, creating an explosion of draining negative energy in the process. It uses smite targeting and deals significant damage to creatures susceptible to negative energy, so monsters that can cast this spell should be a high priority. This spell can use summoned creatures as fuel, a fact which users are all too happy to exploit.
