Elemental Touch

Arcane and Nature

Effect

You decide upon memorizing what type of damage the spell will do, Either Electrical, Cold, Fire, or Vampiric. The Electrical, Cold, and Fire touch requires you to expend 3 mana points. Vampiric touch requires you to expend 4 mana points to cast. The spell is instantaneously discharged on a successful touch, but if the touch attack fails, the spell stays on your hands until you fail a concentration check or touch something or a number of rounds equal to your mana rank.

Electrical

Your successful melee touch attack deals 1d6 points of electricity damage per Mana tree rank (maximum 5d6). When delivering the jolt, you gain a +3 bonus on attack rolls if the opponent is wearing metal armor (or made out of metal, carrying a lot of metal, or the like).

Cold

A touch from your hand, which glows with blue energy, disrupts the life force of living creatures. Each touch channels negative energy that deals 1d6 points of damage. The touched creature also takes 1 point of Strength damage unless it makes a successful Fortitude saving throw. You can use this melee touch attack up to one time per level.

An undead creature you touch takes no damage of either sort, but it must make a successful Will saving throw or flee as if panicked for 1d4 rounds +1 round per Mana tree rank.

Fire

Your successful melee touch attack deals 1d6 points of fire damage per Mana tree rank (maximum 5d6). Flammable materials, such as cloth, paper, parchment, and thin wood burn if the flames touch them. A character can extinguish burning items as a full-round action.

Vampiric

You must succeed on a melee touch attack. Your touch deals 1d6 points of damage per two Mana tree ranks (maximum 10d6). You gain temporary hit points equal to the damage you deal. However, you can’t gain more than the subject’s current hit points +10, which is enough to kill the subject. The temporary hit points disappear 1 hour later.
