4th-Level Necromancy Spell

Source: Player's Handbook

Spell Lists: Druid Spells, Sorcerer Spells, Warlock Spells, Wizard Spells

Casting Time: 1 action

Range: 30 feet

Components: V, S

Duration: Instantaneous

Necromantic energy washes over a creature of your choice that you can see within range, draining moisture and vitality from it. The target must make a Constitution saving throw. The target takes 8d8 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. This spell has no effect on undead or constructs. If you target a plant creature or a magical plant, it makes the saving throw with disadvantage, and the spell deals maximum damage to it. If you target a nonmagical plant that isn’t a creature, such as a tree or shrub, it doesn’t make a saving throw; it simply withers and dies.

At Higher Levels

When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 5th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 4th.
