Spell

Undead Flame

Created by Bobbyx

Undead Flame shrouds the caster or a willing creature in an ethereal inferno of obsidian fire, born from the very essence of negative energy and death itself. These spectral flames cling to the body without causing harm to the bearer, yet sear with necrotic power anyone foolish enough to make contact with them. Those who touch the burning aura suffer continuous waves of life-draining damage, their vitality siphoned away by the hungry darkness. The spell proves particularly devastating when combined with martial prowess, as each successful weapon strike channels additional necrotic energy into the target, compounding the damage beyond the blade alone. Every blow struck against an enemy becomes an opportunity to drain their life force, transferring their essence to bolster the wielder. The flames persist around the caster, creating a zone of dread that punishes melee engagement and rewards aggressive combat tactics. This unholy enchantment transforms a warrior into an instrument of death, where offense and defense become one and the same.
