- Gouts of blood erupt from a victim's eyes, nose and mouth. The streams spin and twist into a single, larger, rope-like stream as they bridge the gap between the target and the caster. The caster opens his mouth and draws in the stream, gaining vitality as the victim weakens.M&M 98
Siphon Life is a Shadow-based Damage over Time warlock spell that heals for the damage done. It is only obtainable from the Affliction talent tree via the same-named talent.

Notes
- There are ten 3-second ticks, beginning 3 sec after casting Siphon Life.
- Siphon Life already causes sensible threat upon application.
- In Patch 2.3, the amount healed is reduced when the warlock is affected by healing reducing effects (e.g. Mortal Strike, Wounding Poison).
See Life Drain for more details.
Talent improvement
Demonic Sacrifice (Succubus), Master Demonologist (Succubus), Shadow Mastery, and Soul Link increase damage.
Grim Reach increases range and Suppression reduces chance to resist.
With Shadow Embrace, this spell also reduces physical damage dealt by the target.
Tips and tactics
Siphon Life and Life Tap can be used to easily regenerate mana and health. It just needs to be spammed on multiple targets, while regularly life tapping the newly gained life into mana.
Siphon Life and Drain Life can be used to quickly regenerate health or to "Drain-Tank" an enemy.
