Inflict wounds spells

Inflict wounds spells are a group of spells that remove life (hit points) from a creature. Against undead (including wizards using Shroud of undeath), they have the opposite effect and heal damage instead. They come in a variety of strengths, and can target an individual or a group. Only clerics and favored souls have access to these spells, and they are affected by Negative spell power (and, by extension, the Heal skill).

Inflict wounds spells can target living constructs like Warforged, but do not affect non-living constructs like iron defenders.

Like Cure spells, Inflict wounds spells are available as potions. However, since negative damage hurts most characters, they are only really useful if you are a Pale Master or Dark Apostate in Undead form, or a Pale Master has raised you as a Zombie. Since the latter case is very rare, only Pale Masters and Dark Apostates have much of a reason to carry these potions.

An Artificer's inflict damage spells are similar to the inflict wounds spells, but can only target Warforged and other constructs, and scale by Repair/Rust spell power (and by extension the Repair skill) instead of Negative spell power.
