Torrent

Barrage a volley of mortiferous energies from the Shadowfell at a creature within range. Make a ranged spell attack against the target you can see. On a hit, the target takes 1d8 necrotic damage as they become sickly while ambient light around them dims.

If the target is in darkness, or has already been hit by torrent within the past turn (or 6 seconds), the damage rises instead to 1d12 necrotic damage.

Cantrip Upgrade. The spell's damage increases by one die when you reach 5th level to be (2d8 or 2d12), 11th level (3d8 or 3d12), and 17th level (4d8 or 4d12).
