Elemental Death

This spell is a part of the Loss of Self spell chain and can be found in the Loss of Self rune stone.

To cast magic in Nor'Ova is not to speak words of power or wave a hand through a pattern. It is something far more intimate than that. It is reaching inward, finding the thread of runic energy that connects the caster to their element, and pulling on it deliberately, precisely, with the full weight of their will and understanding behind it. Take away that thread and there is nothing to pull. There are no words to silence. There is no gesture to interrupt. There is only a person standing in the middle of a battle, reaching for something that is no longer there. That is what Elemental Death does.

When the necromancer casts this spell they reach through Serenity toward the target's runic soul. The don't reach out to destroy it, or to corrupt it, but to wrap it in the quiet of death's own stillness. Serenity reaches forward, gently brushing the target's runic soul, gently luring it to sleep. For the target it is like their very runic soul has died. They have become like people once were, before their runic souls had awakened, unable to cast magic. Try as they might, they can't stir the runic soul within, for them it feels that the runic soul is gone even though it is only briefly asleep. For the duration the target cannot cast spells. Their runic soul has not been harmed. It is simply sleeping, as the necromancer knows well, is but a taste of the final sleep itself.
