Vampiric Grasp

You reach out with a hand wreathed in dark energy, fingers coiled like tendrils hungry for life. As your hand makes contact with the target, a surge of necrotic power courses through your touch, seeping into the victim's veins like venom.

The target recoils as the dark energy spreads, sapping their strength and vitality. Veins darken beneath their skin as the life force is drawn away, leaving behind an aura of decay and desolation.

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 2nd.
