This spell forces the air out of an opponent's lungs. Nonbreathing creatures are unaffected by this spell, but any other creature that fails a saving throw vs. spell loses one round of actions and suffers a -3 initiative modifier for the next three rounds. Steal breath can disrupt spellcasting. The steal breath spell counters and can be countered by the 1st level spell deep breath.
Notes: Uncommon for priests from the Dark Sun setting; otherwise, very rare.
