Death Spell?

[Dark Jezter]

Quick question. When I was looking at the requirements for creating a weapon with the vorpal quality, it said it required Keen Edge and Death Spell. After looking at the spell list in the PHB, I could find no spell titled Death Spell. Is this a mistake? Do they mean Death Knell or any death spell in general?

It's an error, I can;'t recall what the correct spell is but it should be in the errata

Ya. There was a spell in 2e called Death Spell that was essentially the same thing.

Hehe, I always treated that oops as a good reason why a PC could never make a vorpal weapon. "Do you know the death spell? No? Can't make it then!"

In seriousness though, it should be circle of death, but what an area effect of snuffing out souls has to do with chopping heads off I am not quite sure.
