Description¶
When the caster successfully touches an opponent in melee, the opponent loses 1–6 hit points for every two caster levels, to a maximum drain of 6–36 for a 12th-level caster. These hit points are added to the caster’s total, with any hit points over the caster’s normal maximum total treated as temporary additional hit points. These temporary hit points last for 5 turns.
