  • The attack heals the necromancer for 926 health.
  • The damage and healing scale with the power and healing power of the Blood Fiend. However, it has 0 healing power and cannot be increased by any means. Effects that improve or reduce healing will affect this amount. For example,  Vital Persistence increases the healing to 1111.
• The summoned Blood Fiend can be sacrificed to heal the necromancer for a moderate amount by casting this skill again, commencing its recharge. This healing does not occur if the Blood Fiend is killed.
