soul drain

Vitality slowly leaving

Soul drain describes something that depletes your emotional energy or spirit—a person, activity, or situation that leaves you feeling exhausted and hollow.

The term suggests a parasitic quality, as if vitality is being actively extracted: That meeting was a complete soul drain.

In gaming, soul drain is often a spell or ability that steals life force from enemies to heal the caster.
