Drain (ドレイン, Dorein) is a recurring Black Magic spell from the series. It absorbs HP from the target to refill the caster's HP. Like healing magic, it works in reverse against the undead. When it is cast upon the user, it will always miss. Although this spell is exclusively reserved to mages, a weapon known as the Blood Sword, which is typically available for Warriors, acts similar to the spell when used to inflict damage.
Drain is a Black Magic spell which transfers HP from one or all enemies to the caster. This is reversed when casting on the Undead. The amount of HP transferred depends on the spell level. Any character can learn Drain by having them use the Drain Tome (called the Drain Scroll in the Origins release).

Drain is a normal spell that steals HP from the enemy and heals the caster. It can be refined from Life Magic Refine by using Vampire Fangs: one Vampire Fangs refine to 20 Drain spells. Junctioning to Status will enable you to convert part of the damage you deal to health for the attacking character. The amount absorbed is directly linked to how many Drain's you have junctioned (i.e 100 Drains would be far more then 1 Drain). The effect is similar to attacking with a hypothetical Blood Sword in that each physical attack results in the HP of the attacker being partially restored.
