[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5683819, member: 57383"] Hmm, I'm thinking we should expand it a little, and it might be worth changing the name to Dampen Spell. e.g.: [B] Absorb Magic (Su):[/B] A magical leech can absorb spells from nearby spellcasters. For each minute that a spellcaster spends within 3 ft of a magical leach, the caster must make a DC X Will save. On a failed save, the caster loses one prepared spell or spell slot of the highest level remaining, and the leech absorbs a corresponding number of spell levels. [COLOR=Red]A magical leech can also absorb magic from spells (or spell-like abilities) cast in its vicinity (see Dampen Spell, below).
