Message: <blockquote data-quote="seasong" data-source="post: 631018" data-attributes="member: 5137">A note on the spell list: there are more spells, below the list, which are also included - I just had notes for them. The complete list should read:Now for the rest of my comments..I picked necromantic as an option because of the "tie the spell to your own life force" aspect. I threw out the innocent sacrifice option because of the "living spell" aspect. Of the two, the innocent sacrifice probably balances this in terms of PCs using it, and ensures that (with a few rare, willing exceptions) only evil people will use it for the most part.I had another thought, too. How about a secondary feat that allows you to bind the spell to someone else's life force? A wizard who works for an evil king, for example, might be asked to bind certain spells to the king instead of himself.Regarding epic levels: Personally, I would simply rule that this feat does not apply to epic spells. If the epic spell caster uses a 9th level spell or under, this feat functions; if the spell caster uses a dispel seed epic spell, however, all bets are off.It would also not be that unreasonable for epic level casters to develop this spell:Death Loan: This spell traces an individual's life force, either from a piece of their flesh or spells (such as magic jar or those with lasting permanency) which tie into the individual's life force. When it finds the individual (which takes roughly 1 minute per mile of distance, to a maximum of 5 miles per caster level), it momentarily disrupts the flow of their life energy; in essence, killing them for less than a second. No permanent harm is done by this, but any effects which rely on the presence of the individual's life force end immediately, such as magic jar and those with lasting permanency.It would work fine for mine <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />.</blockquote>
