Bloodspike

Bloodspike is a spell that transforms the caster's life essence into a weapon of retribution. When casting Bloodspike, you harness the necromantic energies to morph your own blood from an open wound or ongoing bleeding into deadly projectiles. The spell inflicts 1d4 necrotic damage to yourself, a toll that cannot be mitigated or avoided, as the blood is drawn forth and shaped into 3 to 5 (1d3 + 2) sharp spikes that float ominously around you.

With a mere thought or a spoken command, you can propel these bloodspikes toward one or several targets within range. Perform a ranged spell attack for each bloodspike. A spike that hits deals 1d8 piercing damage along with an extra 1d6 necrotic damage, as the bloodspike saps the vitality of its target upon impact.

Casting Bloodspike with a spell slot of 4th level or higher generates an additional bloodspike for each level above 3rd.
