This minor meditation focuses a baneful, necromantic aura in the caster's chosen hand, enveloping the fingers in a dark, flickering radiance. The aura of the ebony hand enhances the delivery of necromantic melee spell attack, (such as inflict wounds or vampiric touch) by doubling their proficiency bonus.
Once the ebony hand is cast, the magic of the touch delivered spell is no longer conducted though physical contact with the caster's fingertips, but through the flickering aura of the ebony hand.
The companion touch-delivered spell(s) may be cast either before or after the creation of the ebony hand, which does not expire with a single, successful touch and may be used to deliver multiple attacks if the spell duration permits. Note that the ebony hand does not enhance attacks with weapons or other ranged spells.
