'''Lethal Infusion''' is a level 2 [[Charms]]/[[Necromancy]] spell which temporarily assigns the [[draining (brand)|draining brand]] to the unbranded melee weapon you are currently wielding. This increases its damage output and inflicts a [[draining]] effect upon any enemy you strike, significantly reducing its threat level but also reducing the [[experience]] you gain for defeating it. Unwielding the weapon will cause the brand to be lost.
