Blood from the Slaughter

Cost: 35m
Target: Caster

As the necromancer's anima bursts into its full iconic form, insubstantial serpents of Essence erupt from its edges and vanish. For the remainder of the scene, a bloody haze and the sound of distant death agonies surround the necromancer. Every time someone within a league of the sorcerer dies a violent death, a phantom snake appears coiled around the body as it falls, then withdraws to the caster in a dark blaze. Each death heals the necromancer of a health level of bashing or lethal damage, to a maximum of her Essence in health levels per action.
