Are we still playing D&D? Where's the initiative? Where's your attack rolls? Did you even read how your spell works? It doses 1 point of con damage every round for 3 rounds at this level, you have to make an attack roll to touch it, and it gets a fort save to resits it. (DC 15)<br/><br/>Edit: few more things, making a touch attack with a held spell is a standard action, and so is casting a spell, so you can't do both in the same round. You don't have any... anything that allows you too grab a whip attack, and getting too close so that the sword won't work would mean that you would have to entered a grapple with him, another standard action. Also you don't have improved grapple so there's an AOO right there, and casting a spell with in range of his sword is another one. Unless you casted defensively which takes a full round action, and requires a concentration check.
