You charge yourself with necrotic energy.
You may discharge this energy as part of the following actions:

• As part of the initial casting of the spell, which requires a spell Attack.
• Standard action with a Range of Touch, which requires a spell Attack and is considered a spell-like ability but does not provoke an Attack of Opportunity.
• As part of a melee Attack with an Unarmed Strike.
• As part of a melee Attack with a Natural Weapon.

When you discharge this energy against a living creature, you deal 5d12 Necrotic damage and the target must make a Constitution save.

• If the target succeeds, they only take damage.
• If the target fails, they also take 1d6 Strength drain.

When you discharge this energy against an Undead creature, whose HD is less than your CL *2, the target must make a Charisma saving throw or become affected by Control Undead for 1 Minute.
You can only control a single Undead creature in this fashion.
You may perform this discharge up to 5 times, and only once per Round.
