You create four 1000 ft. cubes of a quasi-real miasma which lasts for only a moment but steals the life energy from anything it touches. Anything that the miasma touches receives 200d4 negative levels (or half this amount with a successful Fortitude saving throw). If the subject has at least as many negative levels as Hit Dice, it dies. If the subject survives and the negative levels persist for 24 hours or longer, the subject must make another Fortitude saving throw, or the negative levels are converted to actual level loss. When you manifest this power you may choose to hollow out portions of the area to cause certain creatures to be unaffected. This miasma can affect even creatures who are immune to death effects by some ability or spell but not creatures who are immune by type (such as undead although creatures who emulate a type by an ability or spell (such as shapechange) are not protected against this power). If a creature that would be affected is protected by an epic level effect, you may attempt to ignore such protection with an opposed manifester level check (DC 10 + manifester or caster level of the effect(whichever is appropriate)). The area of this power is unaffected by barriers (even ones such as prismatic sphere) and may even ignore epic barriers if you succeed on an opposed manifester level check against the barrier (DC 10 + creator of barrier's caster or manifester level (whichever is appropriate)). Your manifester level for the purposes of beating a dispel effect and power or spell resistance is increased by 100 for this power. The save DC for this power is increased by 100.
