Sure, it's liable to spamming, but SoDs would probably be 1/day spells, and I suspect casters will have very few of those.  Also, these spells could require sacrifices.  If, every time you cast Finger of Death, you took 1 point of Con damage because the spell is so difficult, one would probably see less spamming of BBEGs, especially if a difficult escape is required.  And a BBEG would be extremely careful about using this thing, and ue it only as a last resort, rather than spamming phantasmal killers (which would require the sacrifice of 1 point of Wis as you tap into the insanity of the Lovecraftian entities that populate your gameworld).  And with this system, there should never, ever, EVER be anything like the soulmeld Strongheart Vest.</blockquote>
