Deaths Rattle

The living feels the will and essence of life chatter away from their grasp. A light chittering of teeth seems to enter their ears.

Each creature in a 20-foot radius sphere centered on a point seen must make a Charisma saving throw. A target takes 12d4 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Creatures at Max Hit Points have disadvantage, and this spell does not affect constructs or undead.

At Higher Levels: When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the damage increases by 2d4 for each slot level above 4th.
