You also heal yourself or an ally within 15 meters of the target for 50% of the damage inflicted by the final hit of a fully-charged Heavy Attack.

Essence Drain causes your heavy attacks with a Restoration Staff to heal either you or a nearby ally for a portion of the damage done and increases your healing done for a short duration.
