Necromancy [Arcane]
Casting Time: 1 standard action
Range: Close
Target: One corpse
Duration: Permanent
Saving Throw: Will negates
Spell Resistance: No
Minimum Power Points: 9
XP Cost: 5/HD of soul to be bound
You draw the soul from a newly dead body and imprison it in an object. The
subject must have been dead no more than 1 round per Power point expended. The
soul, once trapped in the object, cannot be freed by any means other than destroying
the object or successfully using remove magic
on the object. Once freed, the soul is still dead.
The target creature is allowed a Will saving throw, unless you know and use
the creature's true name when casting the spell, in which case no saving throw
is allowed. If the saving throw succeeds, the creature's soul resists the spell.
The spell automatically fails if the subject has more Hit Dice than the number
of Power points expended.
Restriction: as an arcane spell, only arcane spellcasters can
learn and cast this spell.
