Your hand glows a sanguine red as you cast this spell. You must succeed on a melee touch attack. Your touch deals 1d6 points of damage per two caster levels (maximum 10d6). Upon a successful hit, you heal for half of the damage inflicted (rounding down). Any healing that would go over your maximum health applies as Barrier instead. The Barrier, if any, lasts for 1 hour.
