Thanguul's Preservation
5th-level necromancy (Cleric)
- Casting Time: 1 action
- Range: Touch
- Components: V, S, M (a candle made of rare wax worth 1000 gp, which the spell consumes)
- Duration: Instantaneous
You light the candle and deposit some of your hit points inside. You cannot deposit more hit points that you currently have. Depositing hit points into the candle lowers your current hit point total and your maximum hit points by the amount you have deposited in the candle. If you are reduced to 0 hit points, the candle melts and you regain the hit points you have deposited in the candle. Your maximum hit point total also increases by the number of hit points you regain from the candle. You may only be under the effects of one Thanguul's Preservation at a time. You and the candle must be on the same plane when you are reduced to 0 hit points or the spell fails. If the candle is destroyed before you are reduced to 0 hit points, your hit point total increases by the number of hit points you deposited inside the candle, but you do not regain any hit points. As long as you have hit points deposited in the candle, it will continue to burn, but will not use any fuel. The candle sheds bright light out to 5 feet and dim light 5 feet beyond that.
