• Cold: A touch of this energy type deals +1 point of damage per die. This form of the spell is usually referred to as Chill Touch.

• Electricity: When delivering a jolt of this energy type, you gain a +3 bonus on attack rolls if the opponent is wearing metal armor (or made out of metal, carrying a lot of metal, or the like), and a +2 bonus on caster level checks for the purpose of overcoming spell resistance. This form of the spell is usually referred to as Shocking Grasp.

• Fire: A touch of this energy type deals +1 point of damage per die. This form of the spell is usually referred to as Burning Hands.

• Sonic: A touch of this energy type deals -1 point of damage per die and ignores an object’s hardness.
