A touch from the character's hand disrupts the life force of living creatures. Each touch channels negative energy that deals 1d6 points of negative energy damage and possibly also 1 point of temporary Strength damage. (A successful Fortitude saving throw negates the Strength damage.) The Strength damage lasts for 1d4 rounds +1 round per caster level. Undead touched by the character suffer no damage or Strength loss, but they must make a successful Will saving throw or flee as if panicked for 1d4 rounds +1 round per caster level.
