Horrid Wilting
The target area becomes corrupted with necrotic energies. At first, all the targets in the area of effect are slowed for 3 seconds. Then, all creatures that are still caught in the area of effect receive 1d6 damage per caster level + caster level (maximum 40d6 + 40). Undead and constructs receive half of the normal damage.

How it works
- The damage is magic damage, not negative energy. Creatures that are healed by negative energy are not healed by it.
- Undead and constructs take half damage. A successful Fortitude save halves the damage again, so undead and constructs that pass take 25%.
