You target any creature that you can see. If that creature's CR is equal to or less than half your level, then it is instantly banished. All other creatures must make a Wisdom saving throw or be banished. If the creature succeeds the saving throw, then it instead takes 20d12 necrotic damage.
If cast as a ritual, the targeted creature has disadvantage on its saving throw.
A banished creature is instantly teleported to the surface of a distant moon on the Material Plane, where it can breath and needs no nourishment, but it can't escape the prison by any means short of divine intervention.
If the targeted creature has an ability like Reflective Carapace (see the entry for the tarrasque) then the caster must, before casting the spell, make an Intelligence (Arcana) check contested by the creature's Wisdom (Insight) check. If the caster wins the contest, then the spell will affect the creature as normal. Otherwise, the ability works as normal.
* - (A scrap of fur from a dead animal, a devil's tooth, and a black diamond worth at least 600gp, all of which the spell consumes.)
