| Components: | Verbal Verbal: A verbal component is a spoken incantation. You cannot cast spells that require this component if you cannot act or speak. Certain rare spells, such as Silence Creature, may temporarily disable spells that require verbal components., SomaticSomatic: A somatic component is a measured and precise movement of the hand. You cannot cast spells that require this component if you cannot move causing arcane spell failure resulting in a ruined spell. Spells without a somatic component may be used with disregard to Arcane Spell Failure chance. Note - that characters make the same arm gestures for most spells in DDO, so you can't tell which spells require this component by watching your character's animations.

Description
Envelops the caster in a sickly aura of negative energy. Living enemies stepping inside the aura take 2d4 damage plus 1 per 2 caster levels (to a maximum of +10 at level 20) every 3 seconds as long as they remain within it. Friendly Undead are instead healed by the aura, and don't trigger spell resistance. This aura can affect up to one creature per caster level.
Notes
- Bug: In-game description states damage is +1 per Caster level and not every 2.
- The spell will (while continuing its countdown) stop working when Unconscious; if brought back to consciousness the spell resumes its cycle (meaning if healed right after it reaches a multiple of 3, you missed the damage tick).
- The duration is increased for caster levels beyond 20, but the amount healed is capped at Level 20.
- This spell is supposed to receive +10 maximum caster level from the Master of the Dead epic feat, but is currently bugged and is not receiving a bonus.
