You supernaturally rip the spirit from a living creature's body, dooming the target to pain and death. The target takes 5d6 void damage, depending on its basic Fortitude save, and is Drained 1 if it fails its save. The spell's effect is based on how many actions you spend when Casting the Spell.
◆ (somatic) The spell targets one living creature in range.
◆◆ (somatic, verbal) The spell targets one living creature in range and the damage is 10d6 void damage instead of 5d6.
◆◆◆ (material, somatic, verbal) The spell targets all living creatures in a 30-foot emanation.
Heightened (+1) The amount of damage increases by 1d6, or by 2d6 for the 2-action version.
