Fortify Health M points for D seconds

Fortify Health boosts the target's Health by M points for D seconds. When the effect expires, the target loses M points of health, unless that would reduce the target's health to 0 or less; the target is left with at least 1 health point when the effect expires.

[edit] Notes

Fortify Health can be used to save you (or your allies) from what would otherwise be inevitable death. When your health gets dangerously low, a custom Fortify Health spell will boost your health. Furthermore, when it expires you are always left with at least 1 last health point, which in extreme cases can effectively heal you, potentially for less cost than a Restore Health effect.
Fortify Endurance provides a health boost very similar to Fortify Health, although at greater cost. However, when Fortify Endurance expires, the target's health may become negative (without killing the target).
