Necromantic Amplifier

Description: While some Forsaken study technology for its own sake, others seek to use science to improve and enhance their arcane power. The necromantic amplifier is an outgrowth of research along these lines. The device consists of a series of implants attached under the skin, connected to each other with a web of coils and wires. The implants can be painful, but the Forsaken don't mind. Operation: Implanting the necromantic amplifier's components requires 1 hour. The subject takes 3 points of damage that cannot be reduced or healed without removing the implants. Only an undead creature can benefit from a necromantic amplifier. Once installed, activating or deactivating the amplifier requires the wearer to make a DC 20 Use T echnological Device check. The coils deliver an increase in negative energy, providing a font of power the user can draw from when casting spells from the necromancy school. Any such spell is cast at +1 caster level and adds +1 to its saving throw DC. However, there is a downside. The additional negative energy makes the wearer more vulnerable to positive energy attacks. Spells that deal damage through the use of positive energy (such as cure light wounds) deal one- quarter more damage to an undead creature wearing an active necromantic amplifier. Fuel: A necromantic amplifier requires 1 vial of liquid phlogiston for every 5 minutes of continuous use. Malfunction: The energy flow short-circuits, dealing 1d6 points of electricity damage every round until deactivated.
