===== Description =====

You point your finger and fire a black ray of negative energy that suppresses the life force of any living creature it strikes. You must make a ranged touch attack to hit. If you hit, the subject gains 1d4 temporary negative levels. Negative levels stack.

Assuming the subject survives, it regains lost levels after a number of hours equal to your caster level. If a creature would be affected for 20 or more hours, these are considered to be permanent negative levels instead.

An undead creature struck by the ray gains 1d4 x 5 hit points. Any overflow from the undead creature's maximum are applied as Barrier.
