Spectral Hand

Spectral Hand (Necromancy)
Level: Mage 2
Mana: 6. Base Success: 75%.
  Casting this spell conjures a ghostly hand with a sympathetic bond to the caster's own life aura, such that any touch spell the caster has active can have its effects delivered at a distance by the hand. The hand is a very minor magical creation, a wisp of negative energy, but still an undead creature in its own right. It is considered a summoned creature and can be banished or held at bay by protection from evil and similar magics.
   Since the hand is shaped from your own life force, you lose 1d4 hit points when casting the spell.
