Magic: Death Spells (2014) "offers 48 genuine death spells spanning every college of magic. Each has its own strengths, weaknesses, peculiarities, and colorful effects, giving villainous NPCs and high-powered PCs alike their choice of wizardly firepower."

Supporting material:

  • Introducing death spells into an existing campaign without upsetting game balance ... or players.
  • Defenses against death magic, to protect beloved PCs and important NPCs from a premature demise.
  • Practicalities surrounding the aftermath: Is there a corpse? Does the death look natural? Can the victim be resurrected? Do a victim's possessions survive?
  • Advice on creating your own death spells, including class, college, difficulty, prerequisites, casting time, energy cost, and drawbacks โ€“ and how the magic kills!
  • Thoughts on related topics: death-aspected mana, death as a magical college, death spells for clerics, and even magical suicide.
