Description

The Imbue Death spell causes a living target‘s spirit (those healed by chaos or not) to leave his body, immediately bringing him to the Dead status (see the "Health Status" and "About Death and Resurrection" sections of the 2009 Cerroneth Rule Book). This spell may also be used to bring back to life a Dead Undead target with one (1) Body Point. This spell bypasses any armor and dispels all beneficial active spells on the target, regardless of whether the Imbue Death spell can harm the victim or whether he takes damage from the spell rather than dying instantaneously. A Life (E,9) or Revive (H,9) spell is the only way to save a non-Desecrated character that has been killed by an Imbue Death spell. Those that are Desecrated can only be saved by a Death (E,9) or Revive (E,9) spell.

If the victim is wearing a Mage Armor (C,5), or Spirit Armor (E,7), then he will not die but will be left with one (1) body point. If a creature takes Body Point damage from the Imbue Death spell, then the Mage Armor (C,5), or Spirit Armor (E,7) will protect the creature from any damage from the Doom spell but all beneficial spells will still be lost.
