Circle of Doom
All enemies within the area of effect are struck with negative energy that causes 1d8 points of damage, +1 point per caster level. In addition, those who fail their saving throw suffer a -2 modifier to all attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saving throws and skill checks. Negative energy spells have a reverse effect on undead, healing them instead of harming them.
