Death Coating

As an action, you can imbue your blade with the chilling essence of death itself. For the duration, your sword gleams with a ghastly, shadowy light and seethes with necrotic energy.

Once on your turn, you can hit a creature with a melee attack using the imbued weapon. On a hit, the target takes an extra 2d8 necrotic damage. This necrotic damage increases by 1d8 if the target is an undead or a creature with the ability to regenerate.

In addition, when you activate this ability, you can choose to cause the blade to emanate an aura of dread in a 10-foot radius. Any creature hostile to you that starts its turn in this aura must make a Wisdom saving throw or be frightened until the start of its next turn. DC 10+ intimidation modifier

Once you have used this ability, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest.
