This allows the caster of the spell to cast a spell of any level without any type of components and also without losing the spell from memory. Also, the caster may use a spell from a scroll without using the scroll up.

This spell is cast through a long and complicated ritual in which the caster burns a wide variety of incenses and candles, and covering the target of the spell with powdered diamond, emerald and ruby. Finally, the caster places a live leech upon the throat of the creature. After the leech has sucked blood from the target, the leech is removed from the target and the caster eats it.

This causes harm to the creature the energy is drained from. That creature must make a system shock roll. If they pass, they take damage equal to half their maximum hit point total. If they fail, they take damage equal to all but one hit point. If they're not perfectly healthy, they die immediately.
