Drain is a keyword that can be found on Creatures and Items in the Elder Scrolls Legends that first appeared in the Core Set. When a card with Drain deals damage on your turn, you also gain that much health (also referred to as life).
The health gain also works when the creature is given an item or action that adds the ability to do instant damage. This makes Drain an easy way to gain back health when you are on the brink of death and can be used to stabilize your board control in the later stages of the match. To gain back health without destroying the opponent's Rune and possibly trigger their Prophecies, attacking a defending creature can be a better alternative. Drain is predominantly associated with Agility and Endurance and in a lesser extent with Willpower. Creatures with the keyword can be recognized by their Drain icon at the bottom of the card.

Synergies

• Battle: All damage dealt in Battle will also be gained in health.
• Ward: Warded creatures absorb all incoming damage and no health gain will occur.
