Information

• Area of effect: 5 m sphere.
• Mana Absorption (per corpse, once every interval if a corpse is within range): 8.0 + Spellpower * 0.08.
• Interval(s): 2.0.
• Conjuration time: 1 s.

Notes

• Upkeep is in Mana.
• Arcane Warrior Spellcasting: The spell can be cast with your weapon(s) drawn.
• This spell may require you to move away from a corpse and then reapproach it with the aura in order to actually consume it, generally this occurs only if the spell was initially activated while within range of the corpses.
• This spell can be activated without the mana for upkeep, and then generate mana from corpses slain prior to activation.
• Death Syphon and Death Magic sustainables are mutually exclusive.
• The amount of mana restored is determined when the mage casts the spell; changing equipment while the spell is active does not change the amount of mana restored.
