Spellscales have a racial ability called "Blood Quickening" wherein at the start of the day they can choose a draconic deity and receive a benefit for that day based on that deity. The choices for Bahamut and Tiamat are essentially identical but alignment-reversed. Bahamut's ability states:
Meditating upon the King of the Good Dragons enhances a spellscale’s ability to oppose evil creatures. When he casts a spell, he can choose any creature targeted by or within the area of that spell. If the selected creature is evil, the spell deals 2d6 points of damage to it in addition to the spell’s normal effects. A spellscale can use this ability three times on the day this meditation is performed.
It seems to me that it's not a "blanket" +2d6 spell damage against "all" evil in the area, but instead +2d6 spell damage against a single creature chosen at the time of casting.
What I want to know is:
Is the 2d6 damage an automatic effect that happens at the time of casting, or is it an augmentation to existing damage dealt?
What would happen to the spell if I use this ability when I cast Manyjaws?
What would happen to the spell if I use this ability when I cast Sleep?
By the looks of it, 2d6 untyped damage would affect a single target in the area of either spell with no save, and then the spell's normal effect comes into play. Is that right?
