Ammunition. This arrow can be fired only with a bow or a crossbow by a creature that has proficiency with that weapon. When you fire this arrow, its magic activates whether the attack hits or misses, and the arrow’s magic is then expended.

On a hit, the target takes the weapon’s normal damage plus an additional 1d4 necrotic damage, and it gains the following condition.
Condition: Arrow of Ilmater. The creature can’t regain hit points. This condition lasts until the end of the creature’s next turn.
Retrieval. After the magic is expended, the arrow can be retrieved if not broken, but it is nonmagical. The arrow is destroyed if it strikes a hard surface such as stone or metal.
