Blood Leech

Permanently steals one point from the target's bloodline strength and gives it to the caster.

This powerful magic allows a wizard of 9th level or higher to steal a single point from a target regent's bloodline strength and add it to his own. The spell's target must be known to the caster, and the spell may not target a creature that has been the target of a previous blood leech, even one cast by another caster. The target is entitled to a saving throw against death magic; if the saving throw succeeds, the spell has no effect. If the saving throw fails, the target loses one bloodline point immediately and permanently. The spell can be cast from ranges up to 20 miles. In addition to the gold and regency requirements, the spell requires a pinch of bloodsilver to cast.
