This spell creates a small, flying orb of concentrated negative energy. As a move action, the caster is able to direct it to any target within range, resolving as a melee touch attack. If successful, the target receives one temporary negative level. Multiple strikes from the Orb of Dancing Death are cumulative and spell resistance needs to be checked for each successful hit. These temporary negative levels only last for 1 hour per caster level and can never become permanent negative levels.
