Discharge

Level 1, Duration instant, Range 30'.

A small lightning bolt is cast from the spellcasters hand and hits one target automatically. Target must save vs. paralysis or become paralysed for 1d6 rounds. It causes 1d10 damage, but every point of damage it causes is also temporarily drawn from the caster's HP. The spellcaster can not go under 0 HP this way, and can thus not deal more damage than its own HP. Reaching 0 HP when casting this spell will mean that the spellcaster falls unconscious until one HP has been restored. These HP are restored at a rate of 1 per round.
