Touch of the Grave

The touch of your cold-wreathed hand causes opponents to flee in terror as it drains their life-force. As an action and when you cast this spell, make a melee spell attack against a creature within your reach. On a hit, the target takes 2d12 necrotic damage, and must succeed on a wisdom saving throw or be frightened of you until the spell ends. Each creature affected may make a saving throw at the end of their turn. Until the spell ends, you can make the attack again on each of your turns as an action.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 1d12 for each slot level above 3rd.
