My current question is concerning my assassins death attack.

My planned scenario and the one in question is this:

An assassin makes a death attack on a target. He has Aleval School for a feat. He has a enervating souldrinking cursespewing weapon. His attack is a confirmed critical.

Now I've been told that you can apply negative levels and negatives to saves before your target rolls it's save vs your death attack dc.

What order does this work in? A failed death attack is still a sneak attack? If you use something like Aleval school with a death attack does it sacrafice SA dice on a failed death attack? Basically I can't figure out why you can apply negatives before the strike and where it says you can?

Thanks in advance for the help.
