Willpower Drain Charm

E/F/M:

This Casting enables the practitioner to perform a vampiric drain of a subject's willpower by drawing off Spiritual Metaphysical CATEGORY or ATTRIBUTE points. A caster who desires to drain CATEGORY points must actually contact. the exposed physical body of the subject for an instant's Lime while activating the Charm. The maximum amount casters can thus drain is equal to their own Spiritual Metaphysical CATEGORY score. If only the Spiritual Metaphysical Capacity ATTRIBUTE is subject to the Effect the caster can establish a channel to the visible subject. the Distance not to exceed 66 feet. The maximum amount casters can thus drain is equal to their own SMCap ATTRIBUTE score. In either case practitioners must expend one point of Heka for each point of a Subject's SM they desire to drain. The subject loses points from the SM CATEGORY, and ATTRIBUTE. if applicable, just as if taking Spiritual damage, for each heka point so expended by the caster. However. the lost point. return to the subject in 1D6+6 ATs time. Note that a subject who has been reduced to Effective Level or less will be Dazed until these points return. lf, due to this Casting, the subject arrives at. 0 or less (negative) STRAIT, she or he simply passes out, remaining in a comatose state until the lost points are regained in the time noted above. The caster, however, gains SM points to a maximum total of 40 per ATTRIBUTE from the Willpower Drain, retaining this vampirically attained Spiritual Metaphysical strength for 1D6 + 6 ATs, All benefits of such vampirically gained Power accrue to the caster. Spiritual damage of Metaphysical sort which is taken after a varnpiric gain comes first from such points, thus not actually accruing SD to the caster's spirit! Points in excess of the maximum possible gain are simply dissipated: the excess doesn't remain with the subject. Even when at maximum SM CATEGORY, a caster can utilize this Casting to Willpower Drain a subject and dissipate the points so drawn off. Only Heka-based magickal spiritual protection (not magic/tally enchanted Physical armor) will prevent such attack as this, negating the draining Power on a one-for-one basis.
