The mage uses his knowledge of the elements at his disposal to deprive a creature of the oxygen it breathes. An air mage pulls the air out of the target's lungs. A slime mage encourages a mass of mucus to clog the target's nose and mouth. A water mage condenses water in their target's lungs.

If the target fails its save, it gains the suffocating condition for the duration of the spell, which imposes Stamina Drain [DL 15; +1 every round; lethal]. Note that the mage can willingly dismiss the spell when a target passes out to prevent its death and keep it unconscious. This spell is especially dangerous if the target already holds Death Marks.

A mage can cast this spell using any of the listed elements, but must buy Elemental Skill ranks in each. Every elemental school has a nickname for this spell.

This is a air spell Suffocate This is a slime spell Smother This is a water spell Drown
