📋 About This Mod

Adds a new level 1 Necromancy spell: Life Drain. This spell is a melee spell attack roll that inflicts 2d10 Necrotic damage and +1d10 per additional spell slot level, with half the damage inflicted gained as Temporary Hit Points. Upcastable up to Spell Slot Level 9.

The spell is added to the spell list of Wizards, Warlocks, Oathbreaker Paladins and Death Domain Clerics. The icon and design of the spell is inspired by the old (now removed) spell from DnD called ''Larloch's Minor Drain'' which was present in the older Baldur's Gate games.

This wouldn't have been possible without Celes' (Expansion and 5e Spells creator) assistance on learning Osiris Scripting, a big thanks to him!
