Damage/Effect
Necrotic
You unleash virulent magic on a creature you can see within range. The target makes a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it takes 14d6 Necrotic damage, and its Hit Point maximum is reduced by an amount equal to the Necrotic damage it took. On a successful save, it takes half as much damage only. This spell can’t reduce a target’s Hit Point maximum below 1.

Posted Sep 22, 2024Nah, fixing your max HP back to normal was added to the text of Long Rests to cut down on every single max HP reduction mentioning that Long Rests fix it.

Posted Mar 6, 2025It's unfortunate they didn't update it so that it could be upcast, even for a measly +1d6 per spell level.

Posted Apr 24, 2025Yep, since they basically removed 'disease' as a concept in the new stuff. Lay on hands no longer cures disease it's just 'use 5 points to remove poisoned condition', an aboleth's mucus cloud is now a curse not a disease, etc
