Gasp

Option One

Activating this spell, you can see your target’s breath as if it was a tangible object you could grasp. You can energetically grab and remove the target’s breath, causing them to suffocate. The target must make a stamina check to resist having their breath taken away. Failing their stamina check causes the target to gasp for breath for ten seconds, which results in them losing their turn in combat.

Option Two

This spell option allows you too violently rip the target’s breath away, resulting in the indicated damage. At the cost of four essence each round you can continue to take the target’s breath away, causing them to suffocate to death. Each turn, the target must make a stamina check in order to break free. If they cannot by the end of the duration, they fall prone and gain the dying condition.
