 Norfleet is being funny here, which is good.  
 
But he's also implicitly suggesting the (i.e. his, as ermor champ) little munchkin cocktail be preserved, which I think is lame.

				 And generally, trying to kill Dusk Elders is way more trouble than it's worth. A Dusk Elder has a better than 50/50 shot of surviving even an Earth Attack, unassisted. With a few Ghosts as bodyguards, those odds rise to pretty much certainty. Anything you could equip on a regular assassin that would let you kill Dusk Elders would cost you more than the Dusk Elder! 
 
And you still risk being potted by a Drain Life.

 Um... this is my point. DE are already tough targets, they don't need Drain Life to be balanced.  
 
I would make Drain Life a water spell, very high level (7-9) and see whether that helped make water a more useful combat option. It needs unresistable damage more than any other path.
