descr: "Make a melee unarmed Strike. If you hit and the target is alive, anytime during\
  \ the duration, you can spend a single action, which has the auditory and concentrate\
  \ traits, to speak a word of death that could instantly slay it. The target must\
  \ attempt a Fortitude save.\n\n**Critical Success**  The target survives, the spell\
  \ ends, and the target is then temporarily immune for 24 hours.  \n\n**Success**\
  \  The target is stunned 1 and takes 40 damage, the spell ends, and the target is\
  \ then temporarily immune for 24 hours.  \n\n**Failure**  The target is stunned\
  \ 3 and takes 80 damage. The spell's duration continues, but the target is then\
  \ temporarily immune for 24 hours against being killed by *quivering palm*.  \n\n\
  **Critical Failure**  The target dies.  \n\nIf you cast *quivering palm* again,\
  \ the effects of any *quivering palm* you had previously cast end.  \n\n\n---\n\
  **Heightened (+1)**  The damage increases by 10 on a failure, or 5 on a success."
