Your hand becomes wreathed in black and purple shadowy aura that hisses and carries the scent of death.
For the duration, your touch can siphon life force from others to heal your wounds. Make a melee spell attack against a creature within your reach. On a hit, the target takes 3d6 Necrotic Damage, and you regain hit points equal to half the amount of necrotic damage dealt. Until the spell ends, you can make the attack again on each of your turns as an action.

At higher ranks: When you cast this spell as a spell of 4th rank or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each rank above 3rd.
