Campaign Design - Spells: Mark of Death

Mark of Death (from the Book of Eldritch Might)
Necromancy [Death]

Level: Sorcerer/Wizard 8
Components: V, S
Casting Time: 1 full round
Range: Touch

Target, Effect, or Area: One creature

Duration: 1 hour per caster level or until discharged

Saving Throw: Will negates (harmless) [see text]
Spell Resistance: Yes

The energy of this spell creates a black, skull-shaped mark on the face, hand, or other prominent feature of any creature, living or undead. Those bearing this mark gain an immunity to all death effects. They also possess the ability to launch a pale gray ray of energy which requires a ranged touch attack to hit a target within Medium range (100 feet + 10 feet per caster level). Targets struck must make a Fortitude saving throw or die. Even those who save suffer 1d4 points of temporary Constitution damage. Using the ray of death ability immediately dismisses the mark of death.
