Mage Score:

• [..6] No effect. The target creature dies, as normal.
• [7..] You grab hold of a thread of the target creature's life. While your Concentration holds, the creature maintains 1 Vitality, though the creature is Unconscious. If the creature is attacked, you must Pass a Focus or this effect ends. When the effect of this Ability ends, the creature loses 1 Vitality unless it was healed in some way, at which point this spell also ends.
