Reaping Spell

(Champions of Ruin, page 21, DnD 3.5)

[Metamagic]

The dark energy of your spell devours the soul of any creature killed by it.

Prerequisite

Any evil alignment

Benefit

A raise dead, reincarnate, or resurrection spell cannot return to life a creature killed by a reaping spell, and a true resurrection spell has only a 50% chance of succeeding. A reaping spell that fails to kill the target has no additional effect. A reaping spell uses up a spell slot three levels higher than the spell's actual level
