Effect Using a link to a target (hair or blood), the caster may attempt a ritual which allows them to make a slay attempt regardless of distance or sight - though the target must be on the same plane of existence. The ritual will result in the destruction of the sample used. Only one attempt may be made on a single target in a 24 hour period.

If successful, a ghostly hand reaches out to the target and pulls their life from their body. If the target has a Magic Resist bonus, subtract an equal number of dice from your dice pool. If they have a Magic Resist penalty instead add an equal number of dice to your dice pool. Afterward, if successes are equal or greater to the target’s current Health, the target dies immediately. If the spell fails to kill the target, it deals 1 point of lethal damage instead.

Slay does not affect undead, constructs, or material. This is a magical effect and targets get no additional defense from dodge.
