Every man dead, a mother’s son. Every woman deceased, a mother’s daughter. Every death carries with it the weight of unfulfilled dreams and broken promises, and few bear a grudge better than one trapped in eternal nothingness.

From your hand springs the spectral images of the deceased, whose malevolence you channel into a ranged touch attack. This attack deals 1d6 points of untyped damage per caster level, but these dice are increased against certain individuals or creatures that are more likely they are to have stepped over someone’s corpse to get ahead or simply more likely to have caused grief simply by virtue of their existence.
