     Dracoliches have a strong connection to the negative material
plane.  Utilizing this bond, the Dracolich may surround itself or 
an ally with a field of negative energy.  This vampiric aura will 
drain spell points from any foe who comes into contact with it in 
combat.  Over time, stolen energy will be used towards healing any 
damage done to field's recipient.  Only a certain amount of spell 
points can be stolen before the draining effect of the aura fades.  
Vampirism itself will not end if stolen energy is still present.
It will end prematurely (that is, before the duration expires) if
no stolen energy remains and the aura has already drained a certain
maximum amount of spell points from one or more targets.

     This spell has an above average drain on the Dracolich's 
phylactery.
