how to: use lifeleech for different purposes

[Silvator]

hi,
and yet another question from me:
what is the effect of the different things from lifeleech/manaleech?
i tried to create a version without a life-refilling effect for the user but it just didnt work :/

i would be glad if someone could explain exactly how the different data(A1-I1) of the spell works and moreover how to adjust it to work more like a channeled damageability than a channeled lifestealing one.

You want it to damage, but not transfer the life?
So that it damages over time?

Just mix the Data - Interval up to 1000 or such, then it will only drain each 1000 seconds, and then trigger the damage, or just set the life aqquired to 0.

Alternatively, you could use aerial shackles. Of course, this would mean neither side could move (one has to channel and the other is stuck).

If you're just looking for DoT and don't care about channeling, look into Shadow Strike, by setting initial damage to 0 you can have it be just a DoT.

If you really want the channel/damage effect, then you can always set the values to deal/drain in the spell to 0, and then trigger the damage.

did you look at the spelldata?
only given thing is the life transfered. the other things have no function atm.

@poster above: quite a nice idea, even when it actually needs more work than i like .. xD
but would allow to be used by several spells at once
