  description: The devourer touches a creature within reach, dealing 8d6 negative
    damage (DC 26 basic Fortitude save). If a creature is slain by this attack, its
    soul becomes trapped within the devourer. While trapped, a creature cannot be
    resurrected except by powerful magic such as a wish spell. Destroying the devourer
    or successfully counteracting Devour Soul (see spell deflection) releases the
    soul. The devourer can hold only one soul at a time. A soul has 5 soul charges
    per level. The devourer can expend charges to cast spells (see the soul spells
    ability below). If the soul is freed and the creature returns to life, the creature
    is drained 1 for every 5 soul charges expended. If reduced to 0 charges, the soul
    is consumed and can be restored to life only by powerful magic such as *wish*.

    the amount of drain by 1 on a failed save, to a maximum of drained 4.
