I was under the impression that sleep spells had a reduced drain because of
thier restricted target (concious biengs, don't flame me for vaguenes), and a
limited effect (no physical damage).
You cant cast one on an unconcious target, or a spirit, or a
plant. Sentient biengs that don't sleep would be a gray area.
Therefore, no sleepspells of death. In fact, no staging damage past deadly
stun. you just fall asleep.

Lets get something straight, the Sleep spell has got nothing to do with
sleep. Its just a mana spell that does stun damages that usually results in
a state of unconcsiousness for the target. Thats why its called sleep.
Now sleep doesnt suffer any restrictrions and the reason why it
has such a low drain code is that its a very straightforward spell.
Sleep being a mana spell allows you to hit anything as long as its a living
being and not an inanimate object.
