Harm spell when person's hp are negative

Was wondering if the harm spell would have any effect on a raging berzerker when he is already at negative hit points? And if it does still work, how much damage would it cause?

Well, the text says it causes the loss of all but 1d4 HP. So, I'd have to say that Harm does nothing to creatures lower then 0 HP, and only has a chance to work on those of 4 or less.

Agreed.
