Spell
Wind Theft
Wind Theft is a powerful spell that manipulates the very air around its targets. When cast, it temporarily removes the oxygen from the lungs of the affected creatures, leaving them gasping for breath. The duration of the spell is directly tied to the caster's own stamina, as maintaining this effect requires a constant flow of magical energy. While it is possible to use this spell to lethal effect, the immense strain it places on the caster often makes this an impractical approach. More commonly, Wind Theft is employed as a disorienting tactic, catching foes off guard and either leaving them vulnerable to further attacks or letting the user escape while they are gasping for breath. The spell's versatility and the subtle nature of its effects make it a valuable tool in the arsenal of any spellcaster who seeks to control the battlefield through the manipulation of their opponents' very ability to breathe.
