You are healed instead of damaged by vile damage caused by the action (a damage type that appears in Book of Vile Darkness).

In addition if the action originated by a spell with the evil descriptor, or by a creature with an evil aura and you suffered hit point or ability damage or ability drain by that action, then your attacker suffers the same amount of damage or drain.
