Channel Spell (Sp): As a move action, Bestmo can channel a spell he has prepared into his sword, thus using up the spell as if it had been cast.  The next creature he successfully hits with the sword is   affected by the spell (saving throw and spell resistance applies).  Only the target is affected by the      spell, even if it’s an area spell.
