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

Every battlefield has a well beneath it. Not one that can be seen or measured or found with a shovel, but one that the necromancer has learned to feel. It is a depth of accumulated death energy that sinks into the ground wherever enough lives have ended, wherever enough of what was living has passed into what is not. The dead leave something behind when they go. Not their souls, not their memories, not anything that could be called them. They pass on the raw and residual energy of what they were, settling downward like sediment until it finds whatever lies below. The necromancer knows how to draw from it.

When this spell is cast the necromancer reaches downward through their runic soul, past the ground beneath their feet and into that deep accumulated reserve, and pulls. What comes up is not gentle. Death energy drawn from the well of the fallen floods into the target in a cold and violent rush, and the target feels it arrive as something almost overwhelming, a surge of power that is not theirs and does not feel like theirs but is available to them for as long as it lasts. The necromancer draws upon this well anywhere within the battlefield, and any who enter the well's area, friend or foe, have their Offensive, Bow, and Runic Power increased by 1d30 for the duration as the borrowed strength of the dead moves through them.

Pain watches this with interest. It always does when something is borrowed that was never meant to be returned in the same condition it was taken. When the spell ends the death energy drains out of any it has benefited as quickly as it came, and it does not leave the targets as it found them. The Power they had before the spell was cast is halved in its wake, their bodies left depleted by the experience of briefly containing something it was not built to hold. The well gave what was asked. The cost is simply what remains when it takes it back.
