Death's Inevitability

NORMAL: Step Towards Death. Add your wisdom bonus plus the number of Steps Towards Life minus the number of Steps Toward Death (not including the step taken this turn), if the target fails a Wisdom Saving Throw, subtract this number from their Saving Throws until the end of your next turn, otherwise subtract half as much rounded up.

EMPOWERED (REQUIRES AT LEAST 2 STEPS TOWARDS LIFE): Reset your Steps Away From the Boundary and use the pull of the force holding you to the Boundary Between Life and Death to Empower your spell. Add your wisdom bonus plus 1d4 for each Step Towards Life, if the target fails a Wisdom Saving Throw, subtract this number from their Saving Throws until the end of your next turn, otherwise subtract half as much rounded up.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the number of targets increases by one for each slot level above the 2nd.
