Meeza dumb. All that's wrong. See below posts.
Well, now, don't be too hasty
You see, pre-Tome and Blood, this wasn't spelled out. While it states under the description of Energy Drain that energy drain special attacks inflict double negative levels on a critical, that passage doesn't apply to spells; and if you'd taken a poll pre-T&B as to how many DMs thought you could deal Sneak Attack damage along with Enervation, I'd guess most would have said "No".
Tome and Blood also changed - not clarified, but changed - the rules for Sharing Spells with a familiar, for example.
So a 3.5 DM might quite fairly say "Tome and Blood rules don't apply to 3.5, and you can only crit with a spell that deals hit point damage."
