Hi all.
I have a question about Spelldesign and Draincode.
My Mage want to create a Spell. It is heartattack, and the Damage Code is D.
He wants to make it as an combat spell, physical and touch required.
If I understand it right, the Drain level is D and the modifiers are:
physical spell +1 (target)
touch required -1 "
touch required -1 (level Mod)
limited range -1 "
So the drain is (f/2)M. Could that be? Seems a little bit hard.
Please tell me if I miss something.
Thanks,
Pappa Schlumpf.

Close but not quite. You only get to choose range once (touch or limited).
The drain code would be (F/2)S. This Heartattack is basically a physical
version of the deathtouch spell in the Grimoire.
