You attempt infect a creature nearby with a nasty strain of poison. The creature must make a Constitution saving throw or take 3d8 poison damage and be infected. An infected creature is poisoned and takes an additional 2d8 poison damage at the start of each of their turns. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much poison damage and is not infected. The spell has no effect on creatures immune to the poisoned condition.
When an infected creature dies, they explode in a poisonous burst. Each creature within 5 feet of the infected creature when it dies must roll a constitution saving throw or be infected as well, suffering the full effects of the spell.
At the end of each of each infected creature’s turns until the spell ends, they can make another Constitution saving throw. On a success, the spell ends for that creature.
*At Higher Levels.* When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the initial damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 3rd.
* - (a splash of weak poison)
