Vampiric Touch

Mage Spell

Level: 3
Range: Close
Duration: One Attack
Area of Effect: Caster

When the caster touches an opponent with a successful attack, the spells does 1-6 points of damage for every two levels of the mage. For example, a 10th-level mage would do 5-30 points of damage. These points in turn are transferred temporarily to the mage, so any damage he takes is subtracted from these points first. When the spell is cast a hand picture appears in the caster’s primary hand. Use this as you would any other weapon. This spell does not affect undead monsters such as skeletons.
