Negative Energy Burst

The dark mirror of Heal—it guts the living and mends the dead in the same breath

Available Levels
1357910

The necromancer conjures a dark orb and lets it burst. Negative energy floods the area, tearing at every living body inside it and pouring into every dead one.

It is built as the exact opposite of Heal and scales on the same curve. Living creatures take the damage; every undead in the radius recovers the same amount instead. There is no Save either way—only DR subtracts from the damage, and nothing at all reduces the healing (see 3).

Spell level Damage per CL Radius
1 1d10 10 ft
3 1d10 20 ft
5 2d10 40 ft
7 4d10 60 ft
9 8d10 80 ft
10 16d10 160 ft

This is the spell a necromancer casts into his own line. The horde stands back up while whatever it is fighting comes apart, and the caster chooses nothing: the burst does not discriminate, and a living ally standing among the dead is simply on the wrong side of it.
