Slight improv. modifier, I agree. Maybe just improvise "kill ability" off the Death affinity in the first place. Or "kill Bat", while we're at it.
But do my suggestions for turning sacrifices into augments help with any more sensible ideas?

The afore-mentioned scarey friend in black thinks a seriously augmented "decapitate foe" would be good. She's out of her mind.

Of course. A mere 15W5 isn't enough to deal with, you have to bring this up. Do the rest of us get to augment magical abilties with physical size, then? All magicians start shovelling burgers :)

How do our human heroes manage to operate in this?

Sounds/looks wonderful! We've got to get the mechanics for this sorted, it's far too good to lose.
And personaly I still like the idea of starting off with the vacuum to stop the Scream: once you release the vacuum you'll have all the thunder-clap you could ask for.
