Cure Light Wounds

Type
Energy, Healing

When laying your hand upon a living creature, you channel positive energy that cures 1d8 points of damage +1 point per caster level (maximum +5).

Since undead are sustained by negative energy, this spell deals damage to them instead of curing their wounds.

Inflict Light Wounds

Type
Energy

When laying your hand upon a living creature, you channel negative energy that deals 1d8 points of damage +1 point per caster level (maximum +5).

Since undead are sustained by negative energy, this spell cures such a creature of a like amount of damage, rather than harming it.
