Words so raw with power they run your throat dry, arcane passes so vile they threaten blindness— this is what is necessary to banish life itself. Light bleeds away at the apex of this spell, leaving the world in a horrific grey-toned suspense. Choose a point in range you can see; the greyscale light collapses in on itself in that area, divorcing all sound and sight for a split second before erupting in an expanding wall of utter silence and blackness, lanced with dire arcs of purple energy. A 90-foot radius, 300-foot-tall cone appears at the point you choose, spreading the vile darkness in a flash.
Creatures caught in the cone must make a Constitution saving throw or suffer 130 (20d12) necrotic damage, or half as much on a save. Creatures reduced to 0 hit points by this spell die outright, leaving a withered grey husk behind.
