You shoot a black ray of necromantic energy from your outstretched hand, causing your foe to violently purge blood vessels through its skin. The purged blood vessels spread outward, creating a many-layered mass of bloody, adhesive tissue that traps nearby creatures in a gory horror.
Make a ranged spell attack against the target. On a hit, the subject loses half its hit points (rounded down) and must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the target is stunned until the end of your next turn. Oozes and plants are not affected by this spell.
The avascular mass instantaneously erupts from the subject and must be anchored to at least two opposed points—such as floor and ceiling or opposite walls—or else the mass collapses and has no effect. Creatures caught within a 20-foot-radius avascular mass must make a Dexterity saving throw or become entangled. The original target of the spell is automatically entangled. Because the avascular mass is magically animate and gradually tightens on those it holds, an entangled character who attempts to cast a spell must make a DC 25 Concentration check or lose the spell.
A stuck creature can use their action to make a Strength saving throw to move five feet through the writhing blood vessels. If you have at least 5 feet of avascular mass between you and an opponent, it provides half cover. If you have at least 20 feet of avascular mass between you, it provides total cover. When the duration of the spell elapses, the blood vessel mass becomes so much limp, decaying tissue.
