You inflict a warping, feeble sensation in a flesh-and-blood creature of your choice that you can see within range as you start to greviously disfigure its bones. The target must make a Constitution saving throw. The target takes 8d8 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
If a creature is killed by this spell, its body and any nonmagical items it's wearing or carrying are ripped apart as curved, jagged spears of demonic bone erupt out of it. Each creature of your choice that you can see within 20 feet of the killed creature must make a Dexterity saving throw. A target takes 8d10 slashing damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature that fails its save by 5 or more takes an extra 2d10 slashing damage.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 6th level or higher, the necrotic and piercing damage both increase by 1d8 for each slot level above 5th.
