Drain Life

Version 0.12: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

Drain Life is a monsters-only spell which functions like Yredelemnul's Drain Life ability, dealing negative energy damage to every enemy in the caster's line of sight. In effect, this allows the enemy to smite you and all your allies and heal itself in a single action. Negative energy resistance reduces its effect.

The following enemies cast Drain Life:

• Deep dwarf death knight
• Soul eater
