GURPS Magic: Death Spells

This supplement presents 48 death spells spanning every college of magic. Each spell includes distinct strengths, weaknesses, effects, and methods of killing, for use by villainous NPCs or powerful player characters. Supporting material covers introducing instant-death magic without disrupting campaign balance, defending against it, and handling its aftermath, including corpses, resurrection, appearances, and surviving possessions. It also provides guidance for creating new death spells and discusses death-aspected mana, death as a magical college, clerical death spells, and magical suicide.
