A touch from your hand, which crackles
with black energy, weakens the life force of
living creatures.
Each melee touch attack you successfully
make during the spell’s duration
channels negative energy that bestows
one negative level on the target and
grants you 5 temporary hit points. This
spell cannot give you more temporary
hit points than your normal starting
hit points (your hit point total cannot
exceed two times your normal starting
hit points). Both the negative level and
the temporary hit points last for up to 1
hour. You can use this attack once per
round for a number of rounds equal to
your caster level. Any charges of the
spell not used by the time the duration
expires are lost.
An undead creature you touch
instead gains 5 temporary hit points
and you lose a like amount (no save).
Temporary hit points gained in this
way last for up to 1 hour.
