Let's say a character possesses the Tomb-Tainted Soul feat (Libris Mortis), which allows you to be healed by negative energy and harmed by positive energy, just as undead creatures are. Now, said character casts Bestow Wound (Heroes of Horror) on an opponent. The spell reads as follows: "If wounded, you can cast this spell and touch a living creature. The target takes damage equal to your wounds at the rate of 1 point of damage per your caster level, or the amount needed to bring you up to your maximum hit points, whichever is less. At the same time, you heal that much damage, as if a cure spell had been cast on you." Cure spells are, of course, positive energy, but technically, this isn't a cure spell. My question is thus: Would the character actually cause more damage to himself by casting Bestow Wound?
