|}{{#set:Summary=An invocation that tear tears the heart both figuratively and literally.}}

This invocation deals 1d8 points of damage per caster level ([[Fortitude]] half) and/or replicates the effects of [[SRD:Crushing Despair|''crushing despair'']] against a single creature within medium range. A successful [[Will]] save against the ''crushing despair'' effect only halves the morale penalties instead of negating the effect. Unlike the spell, these morale penalties are cumulative, and if the penalties become higher than the creature's hit dice, it loses the will to live and immediately becomes [[SRD:Helpless|helpless]] until the invocation expires or a [[SRD:Break Enchantment|''break enchantment'']] or similarly powerful effect is used on it.

Creature Creatures without a heart or circulatory system are immune to the damage of this invocation.
