Upon casting this spell, you touch a living creature that has -1 or fewer hit points. If the subject fails its saving throw, it dies, and you gain 8 Barrier points and the Focus Condition. Additionally, your effective [[priority:magic#caster_level|Caster Level]] goes up by +1, improving spell effects dependent on [[priority:magic#caster_level|Caster Level]]. This increase in effective [[priority:magic#caster_level|Caster Level]] does not grant you access to more spells. These effects last for 10 minutes per HD of the subject creature.
