The caster speaks a single unique word of pure malevolence - a powerful utterance of Dark Speech. The word is so foul it harms the very soul of anyone that hears it. The utterance of a dread word causes one subject within range to take 1d3 points of Charisma drain. The power of this spell protects the caster from the damaging effects of both hearing and knowing this word. To attempt to speak this unique word without using this spell means instant death (and no effect, because the caster dies before she gets the entire word out.)
