Vampiric Touch

From the publisher: “Behind the Spells” is a pdf series which examines those spells from the PHB that are listed time and again on character sheets throughout fantasy gaming. Each pdf in this series examines the spellcaster who created the spell, one or more of the spell’s hidden capabilities, and any related magical items or spells. Narrator and host, Maxolt Alberiim, guides you through the ins and outs of these spells. Actually an ancient gold dragon, Maxolt masquerades as the human fighter-mage to continue his research into magic and to aid others as his kind is want to do.
