Blood Curse

You make an ethereal connection with a creature within range of your choice. Make a ranged spell attack agsinst the creature to afflict it with a blood curse. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 necrotic damage, and it can't regain hit points until the start of your next turn. Until then, the curse visibly effects the target, causing their eyes to be bloodshot and their veins to pop out.

If you hit a beast target, it also has disadvantage on attack rolls against you until the end of your next turn.

This spell's damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 5th level (2d8), 11th level (3d8), and 17th level (4d8).
