By opening one’s self to the eternal hunger of the darkness that resides with the disciple, he may use himself as a filter for the life energies that feed this dark urge.
At the end of each of your turns, you inflict 2d6 points of profane damage on all living creatures within your 20-ft aura an gain a number of temporary hit points equal to the damage dealt. These temporary hit points persist until the end of the encounter, you leave this stance, or they are lost.
If you already have a pool of temporary hit points from this stance, when it subsequently grants you new temporary hit points you either replace your current pool with the new number or retain your current pool, whichever is greater.
You may exclude a number of allies from this damage equal to your initiation modifier.
