Are spells like 'cause light' and 'harm' negative energy spells? I know they renew the undead, but does that mean they also have stronger impact on creatures like elves? |

I don't believe so, I believe only necromancers possess negative energy spells, such as energy drain, finger of death, vampiric touch, ans POSSIBLY hellions, with hellfire(I've heard that it's dual damage type, but I could be wrong). Never had a necromancer or played an elf however, so I couldn't say for sure. |

Necromancers also have all the cause spells aside from harm. |

Indeed, but I don't think they fall in the negative energy category. |

It's been my understanding that healing spells = positive energy spells, whereas cause spells = negative energy spells. Maybe I'm taking too much from ADnD, and I haven't exactly asked an elf to sit there and tell me if they take more damage than a dwarf from cause spells, but that's what makes sense to me. I guess what I'm saying is, bottom line, I don't know for sure but it fits with concept that cause spells are negative energy, especially since they're available to the "negative energy using" classes. |

Pretty sure that cause light/serious/crit and harm are not negative energy. Don't quote me on that one though. |

I'm fairly certain it's not negative energy - otherwise harm (which is the same type as cause X) would be whipping up some pretty ridiculous numbers on elves. |

I thought that the cause spells were negative energy but harm wasn't. Cause like the only time I ever ever used cause crit was on an elf when they had reflex saves against hellfire. maybe not though. |

Cause lightning elves between combat rounds as a hellion never seemed to be any more effective than against humans. That could also be because of their innate MP boost, though. |

I think that Cause and Harm do magic type damage (kinda like magic missile). Hellfire is 50-50 negative energy and fire damage. |
