Vulture Purge is a spell whose primary purpose is to heal its caster. It is highly effective, but can only be used by draining the life from a mostly intact corpse.

To cast this spell, the user must place his palm or most of his fingers on the head of a sapient being, the target. Furthermore, this being must have died no more than a few minutes ago, or be so close to death that it has less than a few minutes remaining. The target must be mostly intact, and cannot be afflicted with powerful poisons or diseases. The caster absorbs the dying life energy of the target to heal herself. As such, the caster cannot use a target that has already had its life drained by another effect, is undead, or otherwise is not among the living.

The caster must retain motionless contact with the target for nearly a minute for this spell to fully enact. Once it is complete, the caster is flooded with magical energy which erases her physical wounds and injuries, to include any forms of cuts, bruises, and even broken bones, among similar injuries. It cannot, however, stave off infections, poisons, diseases, curses, or other such ailments.

Trivia

• The Vulture Purge treasure is an original creation by one of Hyrule Castle's members. Its concept is credited to Guy.
