A wave of necrotic energy crashes out from your outstretch hand in a 30-foot-cone. Creatures in the area must make a Constitution saving throw, or be burned by unholy fire. On a failed saving throw, they take 4d6 necrotic damage, and wreathed in consuming unholy fire for the duration of the spell. Once per turn, if they are hit by an attack while wreathed the unholy fire their wounds are consumed by the flames, and they take an additional 1d6 necrotic damage. On a successful save, they take half as much damage and are not wreathed in radiant fire.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6 for each slot level above 2nd.
Your shadow suddenly elongates into that of a horrifying devouring abomination and attempts to eat the shadow of a target creature in range. The target must make a Charisma saving throw. On failure, the target creature's shadow is devoured and they take 6d6 necrotic damage, and are magically weakened, subtracting 1d4 from the attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks for the duration of the spell, while you can add 1d4 to your attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks for the duration of the spell. On success, a large bite is taken from the shadow, and they take half as much damage and are not weakened.
If either you or the target has no shadow, the spell fails. If their shadow is consumed, they have no shadow until the spell ends.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell with a 5th level spell slot or higher, you can target an additional creature for each spell slot level above 4th. The bonus you gain consuming shadows does not increase beyond 1d4, even if you consume multiple shadows.
You lift three inanimate Small or Medium sized rocks or similar objects from within 10 feet of you, causing them to defy gravity and slowly circle you. With all three stones orbiting, you have three quarters cover. With at least one stone remaining, you have half cover.
As a bonus action while at least one stone remains in orbit, you can magically fling a stone at target within 60 feet. Make a ranged spell attack roll. On hit, the target takes 3d10 bludgeoning damage and is knocked backward 5 feet.
A 15-foot-radius sphere of fog, filled with the necromantic Dead Mists, appears centered on a point you can see within range. The fog spreads around corners, and its area is heavily obscured. It lasts for the duration, or until strong wind disperses the fog, ending the spell.
When you cast this spell, you can empower it with your own life essence by losing 10, 15, or 20 hit points when you cast it. When you do so, treat the spell slot used to cast the spell as being one level higher if you lost 10 hit points, two levels higher if you lost 15 hit points, and three levels higher if you lost 20 hit points, up to a maximum of 9th level.
When a creature enters the area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, it must make a Constitution saving throw, taking 3d8 necrotic damage on a failed save.
Additionally, when a creature tries to leave the sphere of fog, you can choose for the fog to grasp the creature with misty tendrils. The creature must make a Strength saving throw to leave the fog, and is unable to move on a failed save.
Choose an unoccupied 20-foot square within range—note that the area must have solid earth beneath it, this spell fails if cast on the upper floor of a building. This spell then causes one pile of humanoid bones to rise out of the ground within that square. If you cast this spell within a burial place such as a graveyard, mausoleum, or barrow, 1d4 piles of bones are exhumed instead of 1. The ground itself is not changed or disturbed by this spell, the bones simply appear out of the ground.
At 3rd level, you supplement your necromantic energies with arcing bolts of electricity. You can choose to deal lightning damage with your Charnel Touch.
When you expend 5 or more points when making a Charnel Touch attack and deal lightning damage, you can cause the energy to arc to a second creature within 5 feet of the target.
The creature must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC, taking lightning damage equal to half the number of Charnel Touch points expended on a failure.
(-) Your connection to the negative energy realm grants you an inner nexus of dangerous power, ready to be unleashed at a moment's notice. At 1st level, you have a pool of Charnel Touch points equal to your necromancer level Г— 5 that replenishes when you finish a long rest.
As an action, declare the number of points you wish to expend, up to a maximum of 5 Г— your proficiency bonus, and make a melee spell attack against one target within reach. On a hit, you expend the declared amount of points and deal necrotic damage equal to the points expended. If you miss the attack, you do not expend any points. The damage dealt by your Charnel Touch is doubled when you score a critical hit, expending no additional points.
This attack deals no damage to constructs and instead heals undead for the amount of points expended. You can target a willing creature with this ability without making a spell attack roll.
Unholy bands of black energy tie a creature to its weapon. Choose a creature you can see that is holding a weapon within range to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is cursed for the duration. A cursed target can't willingly drop or stow its weapon. Additionally, whenever it takes the Attack action on its turn, it makes one additional attack using its weapon targeting itself, against its own AC, dealing damage as normal on a hit.
A remove curse spell ends this curse early.
