Description

You unleash a ray of ghostly flame that strikes a single creature you can see within range. The target must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the target takes 3d10 necrotic damage as the wraithfire burns its life essence. On a successful save, the target takes half as much damage. The necrotic flames flicker with unnatural cold, chilling the target’s soul. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the necrotic damage increases by 1d10 for each slot level above 2nd.
