You unleash a bloody lash that whips forth, striking at a target you can see within range. Make a melee spell attack against the target if it’s a creature. On a hit, the target takes 5d8 necrotic damage and is pulled 10 feet towards you if it’s a creature or 30 feet towards you if it’s an object. A target isn’t pulled if it’s Large or larger.

Blood Magic. This spell can be cast without its material component. However, doing so causes its caster to take damage equal to 1d4 plus twice the level of the spell.
