Notes

• For more information about Life Siphoning, refer to Life Steal.
• The damage equation is Damage = 32 + (Power * 0.0333)^{[verification requested]}. While in Shroud, the damage equation is Damage = 62 + (Power * 0.0666).^{[verification requested]}
• The healing equation is the same as the damage equation.
• This trait does not stack. Allies near multiple necromancers with this trait will only receive its effect once.
