Tips:
 * Notably, this includes the Enervation and Finger of Death effects of a Beholder, but not its Disintegration ray. (Additionally, a Beholder can dispel Death Ward like any other spell.)
 * Death Ward is also useful against Inflict wounds spells and Phantasmal Killer spells.
 * Death Ward does not block the ability damage of melee special attacks some Undead monsters perform. However you can negate the ability damage of these attacks by actively blocking. Clarification: Death Ward does block the Strength Damaging effects of various Umbral creatures on-hit. (Tested on Live and Hardcore servers, confirmed)
 * Death Ward doesn’t remove negative levels that the creature has already gained.
 * Death Ward is more powerful than the continuous item enhancement called deathblock, which only protects against death effects, and not other kinds of negative energy.
