And it's basically free to use, other than preventing using another ability for a little while. I find myself using it a lot more often than Draw Out Power, though that's pretty good too (especially since the Drain is so minor.)
I agree that it is an ok tool against Blink Frogs and Black Mambas, which are very evasive, but have very little HP. However, I tried it against Hydras, and it barely scratched them. This suggests that the damage is very minor. Of course my piety is one star short of max, I don't know if it does more later.
The no-drain thing does make it a bit more spammable and I definitely use it a fair bit, if only to get into melee range quickly. But, as I said, it is basically a glorified short-range controlled blink, which is decent, but the damage is almost superfluous, and it doesn't feel like a unique god power.
