And then there was another feat that can add the shaken condition to any necromantic spell you cast. And on top of that I was going to add the black lore of moil feat from complete arcane (negative energy damage added to necromantic spells). So I could cast inflict serious wounds, use charnel touch and black lore of moil for a total of 4d8+3d6+15 damage, along with sickening and shaken conditions.</blockquote>
