heyas
I am currently about to create a Necromancer wizard for our Pathfinder game and got two questions about the feat necromantic affinity (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/general-feats/necromantic-affinity)

1. if i have that feat, can i heal myself with the chill touch spell?
the spell says
Each touch channels negative energy that deals 1d6 points of damage while necromantic affinity says

In addition, damage caused by inflict spells heals you as if you were an undead creature, but you also take damage from cure spells.
now chill touch isnt an inflict spell but it does utilize negative energy too which heals undead usually.
also i guess id still count as non-undead for chill touch as those wouldnt get damaged but rather feared?


2. how about the healing grace class feature from the life (http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/wizard/arcane-schools/paizo---arcane-schools/classic-arcane-schools/necromancy/life) subschoool?
theres no talk about positive or negative energy, just that creatures are healed and undead creatures are damaged and necromantic affinity says nothing about counting as undead for other stuff but inflict and cure spells.
so could i still be affected by that healing?

thanks in advance

1. Necromantic Affinity says nothing about general negative energy effects; it only specifies Inflict spells, so only Inflict spells heal you. Chill Touch does not.

2. Healing Grace is a supernatural ability, not a Cure spell. It should still heal you.

1. No, I don't believe chill touch would heal you or panic you.

2. Yes, it seems to affect both the living and undead equally.
