This spell is cast on a mage and alters her imbuement pro- cess, causing the resulting item to damage the user. If a mage uses the Prime Attainment, Imbue Item, before the Duration of Steal Life Force ends, the resulting Item is cursed. The Item appears to function as a normal Imbued Item, except it requires life force to function. The Item steals life force from the user dealing one resistant Lethal damage for each point of Mana which is spent to cast the imbued spell. If the Item runs out of Mana, it automatically replenishes itself by inflicting a point of Lethal damage to whomever next comes into contact with it.
