Syphon Vim is a mental attack against an adjacent creature. You must be next to the creature to initiate the attack. After initating the life drain, you do not need to remain near the creature or even within line of sight - the effect will continue until the duration expires or the creature dies.
Each turn, the attack makes a mental attack against the defender's MA using the following formula:
Where AttackModifier equals either the attacker's Ego modifier or their Syphon Vim mutation level, whichever is higher.
If the check succeeds, the attack deals damage and the attacker heals for the same amount as the damage they caused.
