Lunar Oracle: Touch of the Moon - both effects with cure AND inflict?

[Tim Bürgers]

Hey there -

I have a question concerning

Touch of the Moon:

Touch of the Moon (Su): The exact effects of this revelation depend on whether you cast inflict or cure spells. If you cast inflict spells, these spells carry with them the taint of madness. Subjects who take damage from your inflict spells are also subject to confusion, as the spell, except the duration of this effect is a number of rounds equal to the level of the inflict spell. The save DC against this effect is 10 + 1/2 your oracle level + your Charisma modifier. Alternatively, if you cast cure spells, these spells are potentially more effective but entirely in the target’s mind. Whenever you cast a cure spell, you can cast it as though it were enhanced with the Empower Spell metamagic feat by expending two spell slots, except these hit points are temporary. This does not increase the level of the spell. Hit points healed this way expire after a number of minutes equal to half your oracle level. You must be at least 7th level to select this revelation.

What, if you take both cure and inflict spells? It doesn't read like it depended on your first Level choice of free cure or inflict spells...

Can you use both effects?

Thanks!

I get the feeling this revelation was meant to be based on whether you selected to add all Cure spells or add all Inflict spells to your spells known, but it doesn't specify that. As it's worded, if you choose whether to automatically know either Cure or Inflict spells, but then select the other as actual spells known, this revelation would help them all.

....and another question regarding this Revelation:

The inflict version of touch of the moon applies confusion to the target. Confusion says, that confused creatures always attack their attackers.

If that would be the case for this spell, touch of the moon would be pointless, because all Targets would attack the caster. What am I missing? Why do the confused creatures not automatically attack the Oracle?

Tim, because they are attacked, and then confused if they fail the save. At that point if a confused creature is attacked, they go after the thing that attacked them.

Great, thanks!
