Viktor's Soul Rend

A green flash of light sparks from your finger and strikes a creature in range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the flash of light sears off part of the victim's coating (i.e. flesh in the case of a human) and attempts to remove the essence of their being, dealing 1d8 necrotic damage, and marking the target with this spell for the duration.

The pull of this spell deepens the searing of Soul Rend. While marked, the creature takes an additional 1 necrotic damage when it takes damage from any source.

At Higher Levels. This spell's damage increases to 2d8 and the mark deals 2 damage when you reach 5th level, 3d8 & 3 damage at 11th level, and 4d8 and 4 damage 17th level.
