Description

You create a small weightless sphere of pure negative energy. As a move action, you can move it up to 30 feet per round in any direction. If it enters a space with a living creature, it stops moving for the round and that creature gains one point of Essence Omission (FORT negates). Any creature passing through or ending its turn in the space occupied by the sphere gains point of Essence Omission (FORT negates). Twenty-four hours after gaining any Essence Omission from the sphere, the subject must make a FORT saving throw (the DC of this save is equal to the DC of this spell) for each point of Essence Omission. If the save succeeds, that point of Essence Omission is removed. If it fails, that point of Essence Omission becomes a point of Essence Destruction instead (though the same ability remains lost).

If more than one orb (from different castings of the spell) enters the same space, the orbs automatically fuse together. The resulting orb uses the higher of the two orbs' DCs as its DC and whichever duration has more time left. If the orbs are from different casters, each must make an opposed Intelligence check to move the sphere.

An Undead creature that passes through or ends its turn in the space occupied by the orb gains 2d4 x 5 temporary hit points for 1 hour.
