I believe that the buff builds with each successful hit that you perform (up to 5 I think) on your enemies.
I believer that is right up to 5. Also make sure u get Concentrated Strike, it can auto rech your power siphon

The tohit buff is static for Power Siphon's duration. However the self damage buff effect that it grants to KM attacks while it's active will stack up to five times.|

Edit: To clarify, Kinetic Melee attacks have a secondary effect that debuffs enemy damage every time they hit. The attacks also have another secondary effect that buffs the user's damage when they hit that normally has a 0% chance to activate. While Power Siphon is active the damage buff secondary effect in the KM attacks is set to a 100% chance to activate, so every time a KM attack hits your character gets a damage buff.

In other words, when I activate this power around a group of 10 foes for example, this power will affect only 5 right? Also, while this power is active, I will get additional damage power?
no, it doesn't create an aura like rise to the challenge does, or even a damage aura. the 'aura' your seeing is only there to let you know the power is active.
While the power is active, each kinetic melee attack you land will boost your damage by (i think) 25%. This stacks up to 5 times, for a final damage bonus of 125%. The tohit bonus is active for as long as the power is active, which (i think) is 20 seconds.

Power Siphon is not an aura. It's more like a unique version of Build Up.

Thank you very much for taking the time to explain to me in detail.

Power Siphon, like the Swap Ammo powers, changes YOUR powers, and does not affect the enemy at all, is another way to put it.
