Restoration Domain

Domain spells is an feat option I give sorcerers in my world. They gain additional spell options by adding all spells in the domain to the caster's listing.

One of the most popular options for NPC sorcerers is the healing or restoration domain, so they don't have to rely on the loud-mouthed, preachier-than-thou overbearing clerics. This spell is less powerful than the clerical option, but it has the capacity of affecting undead creatures and constructs. One drawback is that because these spells interact with the positive energy plane, there is a small chance of overload, possibly harming the spellcaster.

Restoration Domain
1st Level: Positive Energy Surge, Lesser
2nd Level: Positive Energy Surge, Minor
3rd Level: Positive Energy Surge, Medium
4th Level: Positive Energy Surge, Critical
5th Level: Positive Energy Surge, Directed
6th Level; Positive Energy Surge, Vital
7th Level: Positive Energy Surge, True
8th Level: Positive Energy Surge, Absolute
9th Level: Positive Energy Vortex

Restoration domain gives sorcerers the ability to either heal living creatures or damage undead creatures or those from a negative plane of existence. These spells unlike the clerical spells affect constructs. Another difference, sorcerers must make saving throws or be temporarily affected by these energies by reducing their constitution scores. They heal drained constitution automatically 1 point per hour, or 2 an hour if they are resting or sleeping.
This directed energy always appear to be a blue energy blast.
