A touch from your hand, which glows with blue energy, disrupts the life force of living creatures. Each touch channels negative energy that deals 1d6 points of damage. The touched creature also takes 1 point of Strength damage unless it makes a successful Fortitude saving throw. You can use this melee touch attack up to one time per level.

Here are my questions:

- Since the duration is Instantaneous how long does this spell last?
- If this spell lasts longer than one round, can I target the same creature every subsequent round?
- Can I touch all the enemies within touch range around me?

a) the spell lasts until you have touched all the targets you can touch. Note that if you cast another spell, or if you touch something else with your hand, the spell ends

b) Yes. Also (I hope I'm right), Str damage will be cumulative.

c) If by that you mean in a single rouch touch everyone, no. You need to make a melee touch attack, but you can make as many attacks as you normally can (be it from BAB, Haste, Flurry of Blows, etc.)

c.A) Can a 10th-level wizard melee touch attack the same target twice in the same round and affect him twice with the spell?

c.C) Can a 2nd level wizard with TWF touch attack the same target twice in one round and affect him twice ?

See, there you go just making this even more complicated. Thanks a lot.

No, since a 10th level wizard has only one attack per round even with a full attack. But a 12th level wizard could attack twice in one round with the spell (presuming it was cast in an earlier round and enough uses remain).

No, since a 10th level wizard has only one attack per round even with a full attack.

Sorry about that. I actually meant 20th, but the +10 BAB got stuck in my head.

But a 12th level wizard could attack twice in one round with the spell (presuming it was cast in an earlier round and enough uses remain).

Cool. Thanks!

IMO, No, since the spell encompasses only one of your hands.

- Since the duration is Instantaneous how long does this spell last?

The effect is instantaneous, that is all damage and ability damage stays until healed (naturally or magically).

If you mean how long the spell is there on your hands to be dispelled (to prevent you touching, but after casting) I am not sure but I think it can be dispelled until you hold your last charge, and if the dispel is successful you lose the charges left.

After the casting time, it is not counterspellable or concentration-disruptable.

- If this spell lasts longer than one round, can I target the same creature every subsequent round?

You can touch-attack THE FIRST TIME with the same action used for casting. You have a charge per level, so after casting you need to use one attack per touch, either with a (standard) attack action or part of a full attack. You can touch the same creature as many times you wish, until you are out of charges.

- Can I touch all the enemies within touch range around me?

Every touch requires an attack, so if you have X attacks per round you can touch up to X enemies. You can use an AoO to make a touch attack as well.
