Once per day as a swift action upon successfully hitting a creature with a melee attack with a heavy mace, you can cast slay living on that creature. You must be wielding a heavy mace when you utilize this ability—while the heavy mace can itself be magical, it can’t be one that bears any form of lawful or good magic (such as a holy weapon) or one that has particular power over undead (such as an undead bane or disrupting weapon).
