This spell functions as Suffocation except as noted above. Note that the duration of this spell is much longer, forcing those suffering from the effect to make far more Fortitude saves to stave off eventual suffocation.
This spell extracts the air from the target’s lungs, causing swift suffocation. The spell only affects living creatures that must breathe. It is impossible to defeat the effects of this spell by simply holding one’s breath - if the victim fails the initial Saving Throw, the air in his lungs is extracted.

Target: one living creature/2 levels (no two of which may be more than 30 feet apart)
