Corpse Burst

At your command, the corpse of a recently deceased creature rapidly decays, bloats, and erupts in an explosion of gore and sepsis. You target the corpse of a creature that's been dead for no longer than 1 minute that you can see within range, making it burst.

Each creature within a 5-foot-radius sphere centered on that corpse must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell casting modifier. A target takes 3d8 necrotic damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The explosion's radius increases by 5 feet for every corpse size larger than small.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 for each slot level above 1st.
