Touch of Death

Make a melee unarmed Strike. If you hit and the target is alive, anytime during the duration, you can spend a single action, which has the auditory and concentrate traits, to speak a word of death that could instantly slay it. The target must attempt a Fortitude save. **Critical Success** The target survives, the spell ends, and the target is then temporarily immune for 24 hours. **Success** The target is Stunned 1 and takes 5*8 damage, the spell ends, and the target is then temporarily immune for 24 hours. **Failure** The target is Stunned 3 and takes 10*8 damage. The spell's duration continues, but the target is then temporarily immune for 24 hours against being killed by touch of death. **Critical Failure** The target dies. If you cast touch of death again, the effects of any touch of death you had previously cast end. Heightened (+1) The damage increases by 10 on a failure, or 5 on a success.
