To Develop: 639,000 gp; 13 days; 25,560 XP. Seeds: reveal (DC 19), summon (DC 14), transport (DC 27). Factors: transport unwilling creature (+4), strip soul from target (ad hoc +23), one-action casting time (+20), change from touch to target within 300 ft. (+4), increase spell’s saving throw DC by +10 (+20). Mitigating factors: caster takes 10d6 backlash damage (-10), burn 5,000 XP (-50)

A hell-red light enters the caster’s eyes and encases his hands as he calls the soul of the targeted creature from its body and sends it directly to hell; the infernal energies manipulated to perform this feat deal 10d6 points of damage to the caster. The shell of a body which remains is effectively dead, although successful retrieval of the soul can allow the creature to live again without the need for resurrection; in the meanwhile, the body starts to rot and decay (and without magical intervention to prevent decomposition, the body will be unable to be returned to short of resurrection or the like within 24 hours). The target is entitled to a Will save to negate the spell’s effect; the DC is equal to 30 + the relevant spell-casting ability modifier.

Within Hell, the creature’s soul is quickly claimed by a Lord or Courtier of Perdition who has the greatest claim on it. For example, a warmongerer’s soul is likely to be claimed by Bael, while a tyrannical despot may be claimed by Asmodeus himself. Typically, unless the soul is of some importance, the creature is transformed into a lemure in short order.

XP Cost: 5,000 XP
