Default Is life drain the same as drain life?

Some creatures have "life drain" as their standard attack, such as ghosts. But I dont know what this is exactly. Is it identical with the "drain life" spell?

Not exactly the same. The spell is a precision 100 ranged spell with 14 armor negating damage, the attack is an armor piercing meelee attack with damage 0 (plus to strength of the unit).

Both the spell and attack heals hp and fatigue of the caster depending on how much damage was done. I dont know the formula.

Note that this makes the spell one of the better death spells out there, as the AI tends to cast it when it's fatigue level gets high, then casts other spells, then goes back to drain life to restore fatigue.
