Horrid Wilting Damage type?

[Cheiromancer]

What kind of damage does Horrid Wilting do?

Most damaging spells (especially of the Evocation school) have a subtype- [Force], [Fire], or whatever. Necromancy spells (of which this is one) sometimes have the [Evil] subtype, but this one doesn't.

In case it helps, the spell description says that it evaporates moisture from the bodies of all the subject living creatures.

Undead and constructs are immune to the spell, so it sounds like a necromantic effect- can the school of a spell be the type of damage it does?

In other words, do necromantic spells do necromantic damage unless otherwise specified, illusion spells do illusory damage, and so on?

If it isn't classified as a specific type of damage, then it is just plain old regular damage from a spell. Resistances and immunities wouldn't apply, just SR and the Save.

In other words, do necromantic spells do necromantic damage unless otherwise specified, illusion spells do illusory damage, and so on?

No, as android said, necromantic spell does damage unless the type is specified.

Note that this spell is still a 'kind' of spell - creatures not subject to water loss, or those magically protected from dehydration would be not subject (or less subject) to the spell.
