ITL page 148: An exploit is clearly possible here using the Drain ST spell and a lot of prisoners. It will at least encourage evil rulers to keep their prisoners alive so their evil wizards can farm ST. Maybe good rulers would do it too, at least as part of some punishments.)
May a Drain Strength recipient be a staff or powerstone or must the wizard put at 5:1 into the storage device then recharge herself at 5:1 from the beefy barbarian captives for an overall ratio of 25:1?
