Inspired by the handiwork of malicious hags, this spell uses the pouch featured as a material component to capture the escaping soul from a fallen humanoid body. As a reaction to a creature within range dropping below 0 hit points, you can attempt an Intelligence (arcana) check with a DC equal to 10 + the CR of the creature. On a success, you capture the soul. While you have a soul inside the bag, you can use a bonus action to drain its life force. Doing so allows you to heal 2d8 hit points. Once you use this feature, the soul is released, and the spell ends. While a soul is contained within the bag, the dead humanoid it came from can’t be revived.
