Effect	A ghostly hand reaches out to a nearby foe, attempting to tear away their life force. The hand is immaterial and does not cause physical damage. Targets overcome by this spell collapse as their soul begins to tear free from their body. The target rolls Physical Resistance, and each success removes one die from the caster’s dice pool. If the caster’s remaining successes equal or exceed the target’s current Health + current Ward, the target drops to 0 Health and loses 1 Health at the beginning of each of the caster's turns for 5 rounds starting immediately. This health loss cannot be prevented by Ward or Magical Damage Reduction. If the spell fails to incapacitate the target on the initial cast, it instead deals 1 point of lethal damage. Soul Rend does not affect undead, constructs, or inanimate objects.
