Nightmare Haunting

Ability

While on the Ethereal Plane the caster magically touches a sleeping target on the Material Plane.

A Dispel Evil and Good spell cast on the target prevents this contact, as does a Magic Circle.

As long as the contact persists, the target has dreadful visions. If these visions last for at least 1 hour, the target gains no benefit from its rest, and its Temp V Max is reduced by .

If this effect reduces the target's V to 0, the target dies, and if the target was evil, its soul is trapped in the hag's soul bag.

The reduction to the target's V Max lasts until removed by the Restoration, Major spell or similar magic, it would be similar to a 4th level curse.

A cold, unseen touch brushes against you, slipping past the veil of sleep. Shadows twist behind closed eyes, stretching into jagged shapes. The air thickens, heavy with unseen weight, as whispers coil through the dream, never ending.
